I prefer no account at all. If you still have an account you don't really own the device outright. You had to agree to some level of things by buying it at a store. Then you have to continually agree to a barrage of ever changing legal requirements.

I honestly don't know if I can ever buy a new car, I might have to stick with ICE. At some point even your car might show a screen that says, hey before driving to work, do you agree to the following terms? NO? Then you don't get to go to work.

I think we have too many "agreements" and a lot of it is parasitic because they want to sell data about you.
