Good luck with this, Karl .. you’re right, we should not need to login to any ABC resource.
Although, here: https://iviewsupport.abc.net.au/hc/en-us/articles/360003864996 we have: “From mid-March, you'll need a free ABC Account to watch programs on ABC iview. Find out when you'll need to be logged in by reading the FAQ, When will my device or TV require log in to watch ABC iview?” “If you use Fetch, Foxtel IQ or an older Smart TV, you won't need to log in. If your unsure about your Smart TV year / model, there's an easy way to tell if your TV can log in. If you don't see this screen (below) when you open the ABC iview app on your TV or streaming device, you won't need to log in to an ABC Account: ..” The devices that can log in to ABC iview (snip) Device / Platform Is log in available? Year / Model Mobile browser— iPad, iPhone, Android Yes Apple iOS 12 and above - Safari only Android 9.0 and above - Chrome only (snip) Which seems to indicate that if you use an unusual browser, you bypass the iView log-in page? If so, maybe problem solved?

Hullo My ABC I last wrote on 30 May 2021, and received a completely inadequate reply. You have provided no plausible explanation as to why you are forcing the supposed benefits of registration on iView users that do not want them. You have provided no assurance that user data will not be collected from those who do not want it collected. Please discard this new system. Or provide it to those who register and leave the old system available to others.
