An account is automatically created even though the customer skipped the 'Create an account' checkbox when placing an order.

I encountered an issue where an account is automatically created when placing an order, even though I didn't click on the 'Create an account' checkbox.

I checked the WooCommerce code in the class-wc-checkout.php class and found that as long as the admin enables 'Account creation during checkout,' an account will be created by default when the order is successful, regardless of whether the customer wants to create an account or not.

Is this an intended feature or a bug?
