Apple uses AppleID to authenticate globally. If the experience degrades without one OR there is too much effort to support this, I’d be happy with Apple making this call.

I feel it’s very validation seeking to rail on a company for not supporting the most “privacy focused” use cases. If you want an uncommon use case to be supported, don’t expect a profit-motivated company to do this. It’s just not in their interest. Furthermore, I use these capabilities to improve my life. So, I personally don’t want Apple to be compelled to invest in an experience that breaks from the Apple-y way.

(Not a fan boy. Maybe I need to accept that I may be becoming one.)

I'd say so.
