It's not just a matter of enforcement. It's a matter of what you can
legally require, by law.
*If* you sign something, the extents of what one can require are far
greater. If you did not (as most users, when they buy windows), you
are not consenting on anything but giving money to receive a computer

(as one ever does, cuz nobody has devices for all the drivers, for
example), you may do it perfectly legally...
