I understand the desire to keep people letting logitech know that we still exist, but I currently have everything in a nice offline-first manner.
But this forum might go away once Logitech doesn't see any interest any more. Or the build systems. Or the repository. Sure, this all can be replaced somehow. But it would be hard to find replacements, and people to provide/sponsor the replacements.
which I don't want. Is there a way, or are we back at the argument "we want logitech to know who we are and that's worth them having our data"?
"your data" really isn't much. Sure, you don't have to trust me. But all I'm being asked for is usage numbers. Nobody asked me to hand out any of the stored data for at least a decade. I can provide more information if you're interested. But I think you've made up your mind anyway.
As for your request: Qobuz/Spotty are the only music services working without mysb.com. But the problem is: both are _not_ supported by the music services. They act in a gray area. They're tolerated. But both could be turned off any moment.
Most music services require some non disclosure agreement between the service and the developer. But companies are not willing to a.) sign these with individual developers, but concentrate on companies, and b.) provide the information for open source projects. Because obviously, non disclosure is difficult in an open source environment. That's why a service like mysqueezebox.com is required for any officially supported music service.
Even Qobuz, who used to be pretty open and developer friendly, had to close down many of their resources, because the right holders didn't like the openness. I eg. no longer have access to their documentation.
So to summarize your options: use Qobuz, or bite the bullet and use a service through mysb.com.
