It&#x27;s not the creating of the account.  It&#x27;s then <i>having</i> the account.  Some people - me included - have account fatigue, and my heart sinks every time I need to create Yet. Another. Bloody. Account.<p>Seriously.<p>Having an account is like owning stuff.  Buying it is trivial, then you have to store it, and you end up asking yourself - will I ever use this again? There is an on-going mental costs to having things, and accounts on services come into this category.<p>Not everyone will agree with me.  Fine.  But please take a moment to try to appreciate an alternate point of view.
