You really don't need a Ubiquiti account. They of course make it the default, but you can check a "local user only" box and then just create a local user with a username and password. I really appreciate this about them. You don't need internet to set it up.
Good. Did they fix their APs too or those can't be initialized without an account still?
You can setup and initialize an AP with a controller, and that controller doesn't require a cloud account or internet access.
Sorry to be paranoid, but is this current info from your personal experience?
Because that's how it was years ago, and then they tried to make the cloud account compulsory, and the last time I asked around it was sort of not compulsory but you still needed to create one for the initial setup and only then put your AP somehow in standalone mode.
