This is an update to the OS image, which adds a first-run script prompting you to create a new user.
Existing installations will not be affected.
Raspberry Pi OS does not have an "installer".

It has an graphical imager tool that presents options for configuration onto your SD card - I feel that it’s fair to call that an installer.

Yeah. That's an installer.
An installer is a script/program which helps the user install the software, in this case the OS is the software.
If I upgrade my existing Pis, are the currently in-use `pi` users (which have non-default passwords) going to be removed?
About half the article makes it sound like it's an OS update, but the other half makes it sound like an installer update, and there's a big difference between those two scenarios.
