Does Orbi require an online account?

I noticed its iOS app requires an online account. Does that mean Orbi hardwares does too?   Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

Thanks. It's just weird that Netgear wants an online account just to use its app.

        Other router Mfrs have similar requirement. D-Link does.
