Public bug reported:

Some free (gratis) packages require logging in with a Snap Store account
in Ubuntu/GNOME Software.

This is, quite frankly, ridiculous. I should not need an account to
install any software. Neither should anyone else. These packages are
available via package managers with no account required, therefore the
GUI front end, this Ubuntu/GNOME Software app, should not require an
account either.
