Samsung will force you to make an account to get updates on your Galaxy phone

They must have been feeling left-out of the DMA gatekeeper gang!

Are Pixel devices exempt from this anti-feature?

AFAIK Pixel devices do not come with Galaxy Store.

I will never understand why companies make these ridiculous demands from their customers and just keep pestering them. I have a Samsung phone and it routinely sends me annoying user data agreement notices which I ignore. What exactly do they get out of this?

To play devils advocate let's say they are forced by law to get consent for data. But why force me to make an account?
