I don't know if a Google/gmail account is really _required_ with Android phones, but you are strongly advised (and nagged) to set up one. As you said, without it, no OS or app updates, no app downloads, etc. So for full phone functionality, you need one. And as I already had a gmail account I used for business and wanted access to it from the phone, I just used that account.
