Yes, but my point was Android works well without creating a mothership
login/password - as long as the device has Wi-Fi Internet capabilities.

The point being that, unlike Apple devices which are designed as dumb
terminals that can't do what people love about them without creating a
login to mothership Internet servers, the Android device is designed such
that you never need to create an account on the device to motherships.

Now, let's take the case of a tablet/phone with a SIM card, shall we.

Q: What changes in terms of requiring a login/password to a mothership?
A: Nothing. There is no need to create mothership login/password.

As an example, I don't have a mothership login/password on my Android
device, and I can make/receive phone calls and make/receive MMS/SMS.

What makes anyone think I have to create a new login/password on my Android
phone or tablet (which has a SIM card) just for calls & messages?

Makes no sense.
