Maybe this idiot should tell the millions of Windows 11 owners who only had
to set up a local account if this idiot thinks the account is required.

This idiot should ask the windows 11 ng for details before responding.

Maybe this idiot should tell the millions of Android owners who only hit
the skip button when Google asked if they wanted to set up an account that
this idiot knows more than they do about not setting up an Android account.

All the apps on the google play store are downloadable without an account.
This idiot should ask the Android newsgroup for details before responding.
