The exception does not disprove the rule.

Most people use phones they bought at their local electronics store, with default Android OS and default settings.

You can use android without logging into a google account with the default ROM and settings, just don't log in. I'm surprised more people don't do this, the app store is the only thing you "need" a google account for, and before they banned Aurora it was trivial to use it too.

The claim was "You can't."

The exception establishes that you can.

The exception very specifically and precisely does disprove the rule.
