When did this start? I used the DMV page without a google account in February with no issues, and the local DMV has no tablets as of May.

It's been quite a while. At some point in the last year maybe with google blocked, it became impossible to register for a DMV appointment. Filling in the forms and pressing submit ended up with an unhelpful "Server Unavailable" and "Call xxx-xxx-xxxx during business hours"
