    1. You can always choose the last of the Reason options, which is Other
    2. You can also always close OneDrive from the TaskManager
    3. but if all this is complicated, make such a shortcut or command on the desktop, taskbar or right-click menu
    Name: Kill OneDrive
    Target: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c taskkill /f /im OneDrive.exe
    icon you get %windir%\system32\imageres.dll

    Maybe clicking that Send Feedback button and giving them some negative feedback on the subject might make an impression. If enough people do it.

    1D is disabled here, no need to lose or sync anything, including an ms account. wrong image or file - then you're done and banned permanently.

    I don't use OneDrive or Outlook as I think they are both garbage. Many better options.

    Frankly quitting it won't really change much, since it will load again after reboot

    You can't set it to not start with Windows? Or kill it in Task Scheduler? (if I recall, isn't it scheduled startup? I may be thinking of something else, but it's been so long since I had disabled OneDrive...)

    I'm guessing you can still disable this MS OneDrive crap with tools like AutoRuns, but many people won't know about this. So M$ tries to make it harder to close it, or something like that.
