If you don't have an account, just leave the password field blank.
There's definitely a silent group that just plays stuff without engaging with the community in any way. The download numbers are indicative of this (although definitely not accurate, there's bots and redownloads and stuff).
I think when you make something difficult to install, you're primarily cutting down on this group of people. When you make something REALLY difficult to install, you can cut it down almost completely so you just have a few core fans left who are willing to jump through a few fire hoops and do flips on a pole to get stuff to work.
I would like to say the vast majority of Dinkers are like this (the 90-9-1 rule, ie. 90% of people tend to be lurkers, 9% engage with the community, and 1% actually create something), but I don't know... it kinda reads like delusion / hopium to think there's totes hundreds of people playing your stuff when you get no confirmation of it at all.
