Re: What can't you do on Android WITHOUT a Google Account set up in the OS?

Reset the phone, and next time when an app wants a login then refuse to
prevent having the account stored on the phone.  If you're just
protesting Google, don't login to any newly loaded app that wants you to
specify a Google account, so it doesn't get stored on your phone.  After
a reset, there are no accounts stored on the phone.  It is after *you*
specify a login that either the app will store it locally to itself, or
load it into Accounts in the Android OS.

 
There are only 3 known Google apps which infest Android with a login.
And each of those 3 Google apps has a privacy-aware replacement.
