For some time the iPhone6 I carry for emergencies has asked

Why is the phone asking, and will something bad happen, like the

You'll need to sign in if you want to download a new app, but on a
day-to-day basis, there is no service for which you need to be signed in
to your AppleID.

Because it's an iOS appliance that loves you and wants you to have the full benefit of the Apple eco system.
