As I said above, they aren't *now*, but the tech industry is heading in
that direction.

Let's walk through them, together.
First, you get the "Hello" screen.
...
No real name, no real DoB... ...no credit card.
Exactly what can you do with this iPad set up with no Apple account?
Doesn't matter, because the point of this exercise was to debunk a
troll's claim that the hardware absolutely couldn't ever possibly be set
up without it.

Set it up then try to make it really useful without an account? How?
The troll was wrong, but what you wind up with is going to be a limited device.
BTW, I personally have zero issues with having Apple accounts on our devices. Makes life simple and they all talk to each other. Much easier
to work with than multiple Android branded devices.

It's not "limited" by any stretch of the imagination. It can do most of
the basics any average person needs without downloading any additional
apps: email, web surfing, take photos / movies and edit them, use Apple Maps, read ebooks, etc.
