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.

  Yep. The old trick of ignoring what you can't counter. How pathetic.

  And the keep-footstamping trick right after that.

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...

  Yep. The 'loss of privacy' false dilemma.
