  You use/need a Samsung account for Samsung services like Samsung
Cloud, Samsung Pass, Find My Mobile. Samsung apps and services, etc..

  See Settings -> Accounts and backup -> Mange accounts -> <your>
Samsung account -> General -> My profile -> Apps and features.

  Of course it's up to you if you want/need any of these services.

  I only use Samsung Pass (and 'hence' Samsung Cloud).
