So? I have an account because I want to contribute. Does not mean I
want to log in to download (especially not from CI).

This is not a non-reason. It is based on the assumption that everyone
wants to use the Marketplace, which I very much doubt is the case.

Now I guess you're talking about the artificial pulling of offline
installers, and not the Qt Account requirement. In any case, just
because I have a connection does not mean I want to use it, nor
provide a login to download. I may want to download the offline
installer and use it X times.
