You do not need a Google account to download apps. May I introduce you to the Aurora store. You can download it from fdroid and you can use an anonymous account to download apps with it.

Edit: I clearly did not read your comment closely enough. If you already have the Aurora store, then why do you need a Google account? I haven't had one in like two years and didn't use the one I had for years before that.

    You can't download paid apps through the Aurora store.

    Guess it's a good thing I'm a cheap motherfucker then. If an app has a price tag next to it, I don't use it. Now if an app is open source and they ask me to donate to it, I'm willing to do that.

    Why not both? ;)

    Some FOSS apps are only available for a fee in the play store and I think that's great. They're able to access a bigger market for funding purposes, and we both know the vast majority of play store users won't make the effort to figure out how to make donations otherwise.
