Windows 11 Notepad to support Markdown

Is LTSC still impossible to get as someone who doesn't want to run cracked software or "license unlockers" on the same machine they do their banking on? I never found a way of buying it that didn't involve having to survive an interrogation by a sales team.

It is unfortunately. I have access to a MSDN Subscription (or VS Essentials or whatever it's called nowadays) that comes with some "test" licenses.

Let's just say I haven't concluded my testing yet, it's ongoing :)

You can get LTSC. It's a bit of a quest, but it's possible.

You need to buy 5 regular Windows licenses and then you'll be able to unlock the LTSC option. It works out to about $300.
