Until you need to download something from the app store (happened to me the other day on a mac I wiped and then needed to bring on holiday so now I need to go through the process again afterwards)
Can you install anything from the windows store without a Microsoft account, or from google play without a google one? I assume this is already the state of affairs since ever, but except iOS all the rest allow you to install stuff outside their stores.
The point is you are not going to be allowed to even install windows without an account to make use of the great privilege of using a walled garden app store.
And no one on this forum really needs app store when homebrew exists
Just a matter of time. Look at where their interest are. Apple will probably be second on this, but if it happens it will be for both and the argument of security will be cried out loud at whoever complains.
it doesn't matter if you don't need account to access windows app store if you can't even use the os without an account. your point just doesn't make any sense to me
