Why do I need to add a payment method just to download an app to my phone

Why with each app I have tried to add to my new iPhone do I need to provide a payment method.Im not trying to buy anything just trying to add apps to my new iPhone I don’t want my card information on my phone I feel that is my on choice to protect my privacy. This is why so many people have issues with identity theft so tell me how to bypass putting my card information when it is not necessary.

I don't understand why I have constantly been putting in the right information for my payment method and it continues to say (this payment method has already been added to your account) so I leave it and it doesn't let me download my app
