What a long winded way to tell us something we already know: don't use onedrive.
You actually think you decide to use one drive or not when you use Windows? So naive.

Yikes! That was pretty messed up. Goes to show that you can’t really trust Microsoft or Samsungto handle things for you.
Weird, I recently bought that same phone and did not have that problem. Why?
"Do you want to transfer your files from another device?"
No.
Just no. I don't need your help, I can do this myself. Previous phone is backed up to my NAS, I can restore what I want from there.
I see a new phone as an opportunity to leave stuff behind. It's on the NAS if I REALLY need it.
Very wise. I approve.

This is also a case where EU still sleeps; that you have to agree to some end user agreement and possibly log-in to some account to even start using your smartphone.
Edit: to clarify, while the vendors services are usually optional (with multiple scary warnings) in the initial setup dialogue you can't skip, Google's are not, even if you don't use the play store.
