Are you...asking a question or just venting? Either way, as that article points out, you can just disable the SMB signing requirement in Windows. Since it's Microsoft's own site and they're trying to make you do things the way they want them done, and to avoid litigation they can't even hint that you will be safe if you bypass a security feature, they make it seem like the moment you change any of these things hackers are going to suddenly inundate your home with malware and infect anything that has a power cord and the power cord itself. In reality, you're not going to be any LESS safe than you were before, and on a home network where you have a fairly secure physical network (nobody can just plug in a device without you knowing about it) and you are not a particularly valuable and known target for attack, there's no real problem with making the change and using an "unsafe" NAS.
You should disable SMBv1 though, simply because you don't need it unless you have a NAS or other storage device you need to access which doesn't support v2 or v3 at all. Anti-malware software and other mitigations ought to make it so you are still safe with it turned on, but with no need to have it enabled you're just unnecessarily adding risk.
Which specific OS version do you have on the device? It looks like SMB signing support was only added less than 3 weeks ago in 5.31.101.
