Well they have to make sure you agree to the terms, this is on purpose and will likely not be changed.

@RDIL Actually, @mercuriete is probably right, there is no need to agree to an open-source license like MIT to acquire a right to use the software. See this question on Stack Exchange for an explanation:

@mercuriete I have a pending PR (https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/pull/8846) to address this issue. The MSI EULA dialog uses an RTF, and we wanted to eliminate the RTF generation. After an internal review, it was decided that a link was sufficient.
