I'm a bit late to the party here because I haven't needed Postman for a while, but how is it okay that now we have to LOG IN TO POSTMAN and send our API requests to them for them to store on their own cloud?

Any good alternatives?

Insomnia. You don't have to use an account. It's slightly annoying but the application works well.

Insomnia suffers from the same issue, use the fork https://github.com/ArchGPT/insomnium

The reason I hadn't used Postman in a while was because I had put Swagger on all my APIs. If that's an option for you, I recommend it.

For an alternative, I reckon you can't go past cUrl. Get a request working, then parametrise it with whatever scripting/programming language you like best, copy paste edit rinse repeat, and you've got yourself a makeshift Postman.
