Now, let's take the case of a tablet/phone with a SIM card, shall we.

 
And you need to enter the pin code when the phone boots. That's a LOGIN.
And you probably also need to login to Google (it is a google's app),
but I am not going to test this.

WTF? What kind of slum do you live in?

If you put a hundred locks on your bedroom door, then it's YOU who has to
navigate all those PIN codes - but the door is designed to work without it.

I have NEVER added a PIN code to my phone and my phone works just fine.
Nor do I have a Google Account set up on my phone and it works just fine.

If your phone doesn't work that way, then you're doing something wrong.

My point was, and is, that anyone who thinks that an Android phone requires
a mothership login/password just to make calls and send texts, is wrong.

That's basically how iOS works; not Android.
Apple designed iOS as a dumb terminal; Google didn't do that for Android.

Android makes/receives calls & texts & MMS just fine without creating a
mothership login/password to any server.

If your phone requires that login/password, then it's set up wrong.
