The article notes the items in the dropdown:

  Here are the options the app lets you pick:

    I do not want OneDrive running all the time
    I do not know what OneDrive is
    I do not use OneDrive
    I am trying to fix a problem with OneDrive
    I am trying to speed up my computer
    I get too many notifications
    Other

  Sadly, there is no "none of your business, let me quit" option.

Actually, the "Other" option encompasses "none of your business, let me quit". Though it is still a UI nuisance

Are all options "valid" answers, or is it like trying to cancel a subscription with an American corporation where most options just lead to explanations of why the customer's opinion is incorrect?

The self awareness behind "I get too many notifications" is titillating.

Seriously. OneDrive is constantly trying to get me to do a Microsoft 365 Home trial even though I actively pay for Microsoft 365 Business and have it installed on all of my machines.

And of course you can't disable the marketing notifications without also disabling the file conflict and storage limit warnings.
