Moot argument. If you can't get an account without breaking ToS—why do you deserve to have the same rights as an account user but as non-account user. You can ask for things of course (asking in comments isn't an official outlet and may never even be looked at), but you cannot even ask Fandom officially (aka a ticket) without an email.

It is like getting mad you can't take out a library book without a library card/account, despite the allowance of not needing one to be in a library itself (which isn't enough you?). You can't just demand the right to take a book home but refuse to provide ID/phone number/address/etc. because of some vague reasons, even valid and good reasons usually won't get you that book home.
