Credit cards are a thing. But you do not need to with so many free and better options. Why use google maps when you can use open street maps. additionally you can use the browser to visit google maps that way. Also nothing is stopping you side loading pirated apps. There are tons of options if you do not to use a google account.

not really most of the stuff you from the play store can be installed without it.

Maybe they experimenting installing it on some phones, I had it but an different name. I couldn’t find it in my apps lists but when someone posted a direct link to play store app page it showed installed.

Sometimes it uses a different name I have noticed, try to see if something with a similar is listed

Lots of German Web sites do it.
