I avoid apps that require logins too, unless there's some obvious reason why they need them. I shitcan most new apps I download now because:
1. They insist on a login for a utility that clearly runs locally on my phone.
2. They require permissions like location or contacts that they clearly don't need.
3. They start sending me upsell notifications once an hour, forever when even once a year is too much. I know I can turn off notifications but it's a PITA to do it manually every time I install a new app.
