They meant an apple or Google account, not literally the email address.
Try to live without an Apple ID or Google account. Probably about as difficult as living without an ID.

Then the argument is just that you need an Apple or Google account to use Apple or Google products. But that's widely true across all kinds of companies and product categories. I need a Microsoft account to use XBox, I need an account to pay my water bill, I need an account to use my home security system, etc. People expect products and services to have internet connected features. Accounts are what allow that to happen.

Why do I need an Apple/Google account to use my bank account? I can't even log in from a web browser anymore.
That's my entire original point.

What bank? I have relationships with various banks. I can log into all of them with a web browser.

All we can do is respond to what you write. If you want people to respond to what you're thinking, you have to write it down correctly first.
the issue is with your bank then. the fact mobile hardware is restrictive is a problem caused by hardware manufacturers. there are speciality phones that arent like this I imagine.
