Windows has had a simple toggle for this for years. Forcing it on by default is the only new thing here. As far as I'm aware it's been the same toggle to turn it on since Vista too.

You can not find that Option via the default Settings menu, you have to search for it or use the outdated control panel.
Also Windows Home edition does not have this option.
Edit: you can find it actually under Windows security.
Still, it never pops up during installation.
