You’ll be asked for confirmation and told that you can register anytime later, and then the setup process continues normally. You will not be asked for any information again. (In contrast, Apples iWork programs (Pages, Keynote) will ask you a total of three times before giving up!)
Apple does not make this too clear, but the registration is absolutely voluntary.

If you feel it desirous to be less destructive, then perhaps a string of emoicons that express your view. In principle, I agree completely with your expression. Could this be why I’ve finally accepted Linux on my personal desktop? I really loved OS/2 though.
