Install snaps via the cli. You won't need a Canonicuck account then.

Uhh...

mate, your problem here is that you are trying to do package management over the GUI.
Canonical can pack tons of shit in there.
Canonical can't touch apt. apt-get install nethack
no problems.

Not worried. Linux is too autistic for suicide.

Because Canonical are complete retards and fail to learn from their past mistakes. No wonder they're a running joke.

Wow. I hope they remove that shit before the LTS version. Even Windows 10 allows downloading from the Store without signing in.

This behavior is consistent with Ubuntu Software Centre. Canonical works with third-party software providers to provide payment and hosting for commericial software in the partner repository. In Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, this is being replaced by the Ubuntu App Store which powers the snap repository's backend.
While the command line tools provide access to free-of-charge snaps without issue, the Ubuntu Software store uses Ubuntu One to handle payment processing and order history (so that previous purchases can be downloaded and installed on any number of systems that you own).
So this is an implementation detail that matches the behavior of the software being replaced by Ubuntu Software.
Tldr: Canonical wants to enable devs to sell their software for money
