If I were ever to use that Microslop thing they call OS, it would be mandatory to have a local user.

I do not mind if some/any OS has optional accounts for online services, nor do I mind possibility to use online account instead of local one.

As long as everything is purely optional and thus giving convenience or usability depending on the usercase.
