If you believe Apple is not thrust worthy, then having an account without an identifier or normal account have no difference to me. They can collect a lot of metadata which is enough to detect you are the same person, not least the device identifiers.
In my view, there is little or no benefit in not using Apple ID if you go down via the Apple route. In theory it might seem good, but in practice I don’t believe it works.
