S9 user here, never signed up and will never use a samsung account. Its definitely not needed for nearly any function of the phone.



Yep! Just all of the cloud services, like bixby and the such. If you have no need for them then it is not required at all.

Bixby unfortunately is setup such that to disable it the official way you need to sign in, but you can disable it the old way whenever you like and theres no need to create an account.
