You can install the toolchain with `xcode-select` which does not require an Apple ID.

And if I'm not mistaken, until clang is installed commands like "clang" and "gcc" redirect to xcode-select, so if the user tries to compile something the system will offer to install the toolchain for you.

Yep. That's how I setup a new Mac. I open a terminal and type `make` and it installs the world.
