You are bending over backwards to justify absolute garbage practices. I am aware there were literally other ways around this. I was more referring to being forced into a situation where I'd even need to consider this.

Yes, I shouldn't have used my personal account... however I also should have never expected doing so to tell apple "I own this shit please make sure no one else can use it ever without my permission". Logging into iCloud should mean "I want to use iCloud", which btw I NEVER wanted to do. Every time I opened system settings the piece of shit insisted I login to it. That alone is a problem. But I'm sure you'll justify that one too.
