This is how Chromebooks work. A Google account is needed to sign-in. The motive is not mysterious -- I don't believe it is security, it is pushing free services to collect more data. We all know that selling people's data is deliriously profitable.

Of course, people will create less-attributable accounts.

Ironically, even Chromebooks allow you to use a guest account, while you absolutely must use a Microsoft account on Win11.
