I believe they do this because they are also trying to be a content portal, and this ensures each machine is activated in conjunction with an on-line account. No account, no activation code.
It wouldn't be my preference to handle activation this way, but since the printer was free, I'm not going to complain!

I guess if it's free it's harder to complain. Even as a donation, though, I'm not impressed. With online activation, proprietary filament cartridges, and recycled plastic greenwashing, it looks like consumer 3D printing is heading down the wrong path.
