If your Android phone requires it, then you're doing something wrong.

Not sure about MLS or RCS though, as that's not the default, is it?

If you want to receive messages, you must identify yourself and authenticate that you are the authorized recipient of those messages.

 Your knowledge level is so lacking that it's hard to respond nicely.
 If I have to explain to you what the Internet is, then you have no business
making your outrageous claims that Android can't do text messaging without
having to enter a login and password into an Internet server account.

 I never said it was a "internet server account".
 

 Android has been doing text messaging without the Internet for a long time.

 And that text messaging requires a form of logging in that's just so transparent to you, you don't notice it.
 The SIM card logs you in to your cellular provider.
 Do you know what "SIM" means:
 "Subscriber Identity Module".

I was aware you have no idea what the Internet is and therefore you don't
have any clue that Android text messaging has worked fine and still works
fine without entering a login & password into an account on a server on it.
