You're not getting the point.

A: You csn shop there without an account. It's your own choice. An account has pros and cons, and it's your choice.

B: I don't know how it works in US, but in my country a McDonald's account is a fair deal to me. They pay me a fair price for some personal info. And if I go to McDonald's and I for any reason feel like they shouldn't register that particular visit, I just don't use my account.

C: I want to use Windows, but logging into a Microsoft account does not give me any benefits worth the cons. So I use Windows without a Microsoft account. And it will be annoying to keep track of a "fake" account just for that.
