Could the fact that Apple pretty much force you to enter your credit card number in their system play a role ?

You used to be able to create an account without it, but not it seems impossible (or if it is, you have to do some devious thing 99% of the population could not figure out, even after solid googling).

That "devious thing" is "attempt to download a free app without an account". Then it will present you with the credit card-free option.


You can definitely create an iTunes account without a credit card. I just did 3 days ago.
