using apple devices without apple account

recently, i've been trying to make my way out of the apple ecosystem. im on the verge of deleting my apple account, but cant find a way to use airtags wo an apple account. i think that may be the only constraint.

ive logged out of my iphone and all apps i need are already loaded & are still working properly.

no issues on my macbook either since use terminal for most things. i cant remember using the app store at all on the macbook.

anyone have tips, tricks, notes? please and ty!
