So here's the very first test of Jolly Roger's claim:

Q: How do I set it up WITHOUT logging into Apple's mainframe servers?
A: ?

The fact is only Apple's mobile devices are designed as dumb terminals
since no other common consumer operating system requires the net for setup.

Here's a further test of Jolly Roger's claim that the iOS devices aren't
designed as dumb terminals where they have no functionality without logging
into Cupertino's mainframe servers (just to get basic iOS functionality).

I am able to skip the connect-to-Wi-Fi step, but now it's asking me to
connect to iTunes on a mac or PC which is also a ridiculous requirement.

Since I'm faithfully trying to test Jolly Roger's claim that an iOS device
is NOT a dumb terminal that must connect to Cupertino's mainframes, I will
set up the iTunes abomination on my Windows PC to see if that will work.

Note the fact that iOS devices are designed as dumb terminals devoid of
even the most basic functionality without the net is why the whole world is
on Android - where only the super rich countries can afford Apple's model.
