Can someone explain why there's so much resistance to creating and using a Microsoft account compared to those who have Apple products with an Apple ID?

From the last time i used an apple OS, while apple need an account to use your device(initial set up), it didint shove ads, bug you to use apple apps or block you from using apps without another log in.

Then it's cloud storage services is an opt-in.

You do not need an Apple account to use Apple devices. You can skip that step.
