There is a way to set a user up in a "userconf.txt" file described
here:
https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/configuratio
.html#remote-access
Another option would be to copy the /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, and
/etc/group files from a similar existing RPi system while the OS
file system on the SD card is mounted at a Linux PC. Or you could
edit them manually and even create a user who doesn't need a
password at all.

I agree, they're trying too hard to save users from themselves in
case someone leaves their RPi open to incoming SSH connections on
the internet. But most obviously won't do that.
