"Create account" seems to be the the new "install" experience on the web. I've noticed almost every "Show HN" that requires creating a new account gets complaints. Might be a vocal minority... (I just use a password manager to generate/store new account info so it's not a big deal for me.)
This has inspired me to create a user account system with anonymous guest accounts. You can use the system right away, then upgrade to a full, permanent account if you wish to keep using the service. Kind of like a shopping cart where you get the option of creating an account at checkout.

On my PC, I am more likely to install applications that are portable/self-contained. If it's on https://scoop.sh/ I will install it without hesitation.
