This is not a new Tahoe feature. macOS has done this as long as the iPhone has.

As for OP, the time and mental energy spent fighting it would probably be better spent getting familiar with the OS. It’s not that different, other than the coat of paint. It may not be on your schedule, but neither would the fight. Not picking the computer up is also more impactful to your productivity than an OS upgrade.

While not with Apple, I just spent the last 6 months trying to fight charges from FedEx I felt were in error. I wish now that I would have just paid the money, taken my lumps, and moved on with my life. The stress it caused wasn’t worth it and it’s still not resolved.

Point taken, having a new OS forced on you in the middle of work is stress but trying to fight a big corporation over this may be even more stress.

Honestly, though, after seeing the next Tahoe-only generation of Apple Silicon come out a couple of months after I bought my laptop, I was so happy thinking I get to keep Sequoia for another year.
