alt Hacker News> Macs allow you to not have an iCloud account and run just fine without them
Until you need to install an app through the App store. Even a free app will refuse to install without an iCloud account. Frustrating when you want something with a verified source, for me it was Wireguard, and don't want to build it locally.

That's on Wireguard.
If they can apt get on Ubuntu, they can likely brew install on macOS.

Do you have an example of needing to go through the app store? There's apple's apps, I guess.
