I hope you are joking - implementing authentication on downloads of some proprietary software that you don't even have to use is not the same as having a company stick a bunch of telemetry on top of everything and scan all of your communications in order to build a profile on you so they can serve you targeted adverts.

Also it's worth remembering that some of the money given to jolla is to support the development of a polished open source hardware adaptation, which can be used anonymously by anyone.
