They really need an option to tell it "Yes, I have an Apple/iCloud ID that I want to use with this device, and I can even tell you that ID now, but my password is a strong password in my password manager and I really do not want to try to type it right now...so how about we just finish setting things up without it, and then as soon as I get my password manager installed I can get that password for you?"

It should then finish setup without further Apple/iCloud ID prompts, deferring setting up things that need it.

Furthermore, it should but on icon on the front page named "Finish Setup" or something like that which kicks off finishing setup of everything that needs your Apple/iCloud password.

They do have that, but it may ask you to sign-in again when you download apps, books, music etc. or sometimes seemingly at random.
