  why did I have to create a blog to simply register? All I wanted to do was”like” a friend’s blog post.

  You don’t have to, though the registration page doesn’t make it very clear. If you look at https://signup.wordpress.com/signup/ (when not logged in as an existing user) you will see that there is an obscure little link to the right of where you enter a blog address that says “signup for just a username.“.

  If you click that link you can register without creating a blog!
