Isn't the whole point of it to get apps without login/anonymously?

Install it so I don't have to have Google Play. Yes, Google can see what apps I have installed, but they don't have their code running on my device. I consider it a 99% harm reduction.

I hadn't considered that. I might have to do that myself now that you mention it
