Philips Hue will force users to upload their data to Hue cloud

Rules:
They already made it pretty complicated to use the Hue app without an account if you just want to control Bluetooth enabled lights without a bridge.
What have been your complications with the app? In my experience (no account or bridge) the only issue is that it takes a literally second or two for the app to be able to control the lights.
It works but they pressure you hard nowadays to create an account when you use the app the first time. An account that you don't need if you have no Hue bridge. They once had a Bluetooth only app without all of these privacy invasion shenanigans.
