I know the logic on what I’m about to say is not that tight, but…
For some reason, creating an account with Apple doesn’t feel like opening a can of worms like it does with Microsoft.
I know exactly what I’m getting when I open the one with Apple, and I have visibility into it from the settings of every device, feels secure and I never get emails or spam associated to it.
The Microsoft account is another story. It’s a black box, I don’t know what they are collecting, I know that even if it looks like a square today, it’ll be a hexagon tomorrow, and a triangle the next day. They’ll change the product name, merge with some other crap, etc. to access it, you’ll have to remember what the service was when you created it. Live? Hotmail? Outlook? Are they the same as my windows account? Who knows.
It’s just not trust worthy IME.
I don’t have an issue with creating an account, I have an issue not knowing why I need it or what I get from it.
