It’s not a dark pattern at all. The step that appears immediately before this one is the one where you can choose to set up accessibility features. The skip option is in the bottom left on that step as well. The skip option on that screen is the option most people will choose, so a) everybody will already be primed to know there’s a skip option in the bottom left by the time they reach the Apple ID step, and b) it seems clear that this is just the design language for the setup wizard and not Apple attempting to hide the skip option. Unless you think Apple wants to intentionally trick people into setting up accessibility features as well?
