It's like the Helldivers 2 incident, but for a single-player game, there's no excuse.

The account creation sucks, but it's mostly in multiplayer games or for a multiplayer feature in a game, to enable things like cross-launcher play and such (not needed if they made it right, still an attempt at data collection). God of War is a singleplayer game that has no need for an account requirement, so it's just there for data collection, singleplayer games shouldn't even be connecting to the internet.

I feel like The Jedi Fallen Order had this requirement through EA?

According to Steam it does. I stay away from AAA bullshit myself anyway.
