Not really, you can just remove your Google Account after setting it up and things will stay working without issue.

You only really need a Google account to download apps from the Play store. But you can use sideloading and different stores for that.

That's (part of) what I said. You can also remove your Apple ID after you downloaded some apps, but that doesn't change the fact that you need one to do so.
