Maybe it depends on your region, IP address, user agent, or something else?
Paypal have a history of trying to force account creation. It used to be that they would only allow a card to be used a certain number of times, then force account creation, or up to a certain cumulative dollar maximum. Checking out at the pine64 store has worked for me without an account so far, but I certainly second the request for another alternative to payfriend as the credit card processor. People have all sorts of reasons for avoiding them.
Nice little dark pattern there. User interfaces traditionally greyed out options to indicate they weren't available. Now companies routinely grey out options that are available to try to deceive you and mess with your head.
