Mac: OneDrive Couldn't Start: Please restart your computer and try again

I think we can all agree that a "reset" is not a resolution, it's a "we absolutely can't wait to fix" stop gap measure. Too often this response is used to correct what is poor quality control and an unguarded software failure. This is now a widely known issues, there is no excuse for the release to still be rolling out (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/sync-release-notes?tabs=macos) when it is clearly defective. We can't be the only people to have encountered this.

What is interesting is that in my personal life, version 26.158.0816.0003 is deployed and is not exhibiting this behavior.
