Payment to PayPal.me account

Description

I created a PayPal.me account thinking that people who don’t have a PayPal account can easily transfer money to my PayPal.me account without having to create an account for themselves. Now it turns out when people click on my PayPal.me link to pay me, they are asked to log in to PayPal or create their own account. So is this normal? People have to create a PayPal account in order to be able to transfer money to PayPal.me account? I thought the whole purpose of this account was that people didn’t have to have their own PayPal in order to pay you… Explain please
