and you DONT want random other people to be able to control or possibly disable or damage your lights, then it kinda needs to have an account.

You need to have some way to either communicate with the lightbulb over the power lines (e.g. X10) or wirelessly communicate in an authenticated way, true enough, but that's not the same as requiring connectivity to a cloud service.

You can use most of them without being connected to the internet, just can't control from your phone without being hooked up to your home network.
