   Are iPhones all that Apple sells?   
      
   The OP troll is insisting that you can't do anything without logging in   
   to an AppleID and you most certainly can use a Mac without ever even   
   HAVING an AppleID.   
      
   Second of all, yes: on an iOS device, you need your AppleID when you   
   want to download apps.   
      
   That is the only time you NEED to use it. Period.

   First of all, get your terms right.   
      
   It's not an "iCloud account". You create an "AppleID".   
      
   Next, while you will need one for an iOS device, it requires no personal   
   information to be made public, and only minimal information you must   
   share with Apple to create it.   
      
   I just tested what information you have to provide Apple to set up an   
   new AppleID:   
      
   Date of birth (which you can lie about)   
      
   Phone number for a text confirmation code.   
      
   That's it.   
      
   So it's quite the tempest in a teapot, isn't it?
