It depends on how that stuff is implemented. You would say a Nintendo Switch 2 requiring a Nintendo account is not a big deal, but the practical implication is if they ban you or cut you off the Ninteendo account for whichever reason, your device gets crippled. Some people would go as far as to say it is bricked.

It is the same with Android, really. There is no reason why having a Google account to use the store for downloading free programs should be required. Then again, as I said earlier, people is retarded and will take any crap they are fed without questioning.
