This is something we should do the next time we touch FxA/Sync during onboarding (because it's now best practice) but it's not urgent given that the current onboarding experience doesn't list out various value propositions where Sync is just one among a list (e.g. during skyline/trailhead, there were many values listed for registering).

If, for example, we decide to put VPN, Password management, Sync and [something else] on the same page, we absolutely have to make Sync optional.

From code perspective, service=sync in current signin url used by about:welcome, is coming from https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/services/fxaccounts/FxAccountsConfig.jsm#66

called by SpecialMessageActions 'SHOW_FIREFOX_ACCOUNTS' handler https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/messaging-system/lib/SpecialMessageActions.jsm#243

Depending on product direction this change can be easily implemented for on-boarding by updating SpecialMessageActions API
