The choices should be equal sized and adjacent,
and scaled to fit whatever size the device screen.

IIRC the No option was scrolled below the bottom of screen
on my first device, and was formatted like a link rather than
a big clickable button. Yes I realise that much of this is in
the hands of the device maker, or the carrier, who "skins"
that particular version of Android to their own flavor. How much
of that skinning is under the direction of, or indeed controlled
by Google is debatable. Google must approve the result
for the vendors to continue using the Android Trade Mark.

I'm fairly PC literate, being an old school coder and all around geek of Gothic
proportions, but my wife is completely lost in the shuffle (example, she just
got a new Android phone, and was on a support call to reset her voicemail
password and he told her to push the enter key, which she couldn't find, I
reached over and pushed the little phone handset icon button for her).
The "set-up-the-device" screens to one like her would certainly seem
to be "required", where those of us more tech savvy know we can
"reject" certain prompts. I'm not sure this pattern is any overt
attempt at subterfuge on Google's part. The screens are designed by tech savvy
people, who frequently have trouble stepping out of the geek, tech savvy box and
picture what the unwashed non-tech savvy world would see.
TL;DR This is not the subterfuge you are looking for.
