It depends. Some devices are fully local and don't require an account, some require an account temporarily and then never again (can use a throwaway email), some require an ongoing cloud connection.
I'd look into zigbee, since those devices inherently don't connect with the outside world at all. Maybe Matter as well, although I don't know enough about it to confirm.
I second this. I always try to get Zigbee on MQTT compatible devices. However, for all the devices I have that require cloud connection, I found a way to locally control them from home assistant and block them from accessing the internet in my firewall after the setup was complete.
