And yet, since marketing tells people what to do and they do it, I'm sure
there are millions of Samsung Accounts gathering data every single day.

Do you use a credit card? Go to the doctor? Have a bank account? Have a
cell phone? Etc etc. Unless you live in a cave your life is already
online. Samsung is just one of hundreds... (And worse, unlike Samsung,
my bank, doctor, CC, etc all know my real name)... 8-O

Gave up? No. I do conceal my ID when possible and/or necessary. And I noticed that you conveniently avoided commenting on your un-private online profile (CC, doctor, bank, phone, etc etc.). Understood.
I just happen to not want to trade my privacy for what marketing wants me
to do (and which I can get, anyway, without trading it for my privacy).

Online privacy in the modern world?? I could have total privacy by

It's easy to be a serf of marketing. Takes nothing. No effort. No brains.
It's a lot harder not to be one.
If you can list something of value in having a Samsung Account that is
worth the loss in privacy, I'm all ears as I've asked for that long ago.
In my case it was mainly a Samsung tablet pop-up stopper with the added advantage of having the Samsung app store made available. As to privacy, AJL has never complained about its loss to me...
