Automatic MarketConnect Account Registration: If your install isn't linked to a Marketplace account, 9.1 now attempts to create one during upgrade, with a starter credit applied. WHMCS has now reached a this point. I'm sure the community cannot wait for this highly requested feature. 🤣 it's clear that WHMCS is now at the stage of milking the software and community as much as possible.

The loss of choice is the part that bothers me most, since an upgrade should never silently create accounts on my behalf. It is worth checking the 9.1 release notes to see if there is an opt-out flag or a hook point that skips the account creation step. Taking a full backup before upgrading and testing in staging first would be a sensible precaution either way.

Was coming here to ask. I don't want one, ever, as I will not use it. I'd imagine at some point this will simply show up on customer facing pages and someone will want something from it, forcing us to develop a hook to vanish it. Stop removing choice, WHMCS. This is NOT ok.
