Hi,

As a developer I find it quite helpful to be able to distinguish between
the number of downloads and number of users who downloaded my app. The
latter obviously requires some sort of account.

Moreover, I believe that some people might refrain from downloading
applications which require an account if they can download others who do
not require one.
Personally, I never downloaded any app from the Ubuntu (desktop) Software
Center which required me to create an account before I had to read the EULA
for the account on my Ubuntu Phone.

For these reasons, I think it makes sense to aks for an account for
application downloads.

Cheers,
Niklas
