Not trying to put words in anybody's mouth, but I think they've said before that there is currently not a whole lot of use for the login system. It does allow developers, donators, and certain other groups to access different content based on their profile. For example, developers might have access to new experimental kitchen builds, or have access to upload OEMs, basekits, etc into the official kitchen. Some of this is speculation, but I think it stands to reason. They have said that the login system will play a bigger role in future builds.

I'd say just take it for what it is. A product that they are providing and supporting at absolutely no cost to the end user.
