Google has a serious problem with their tightly coupled identities. They need to be forced to decouple their business so losing your YouTube account doesn't have an effect on your email service or literally any other service. Clearly they're not going to do it voluntarily, so it's time for courts to step in and start taking care of consumers.
They have to at least provide the ability to download all your data in case they ban you. Otherwise it's a hostage situation. IIRC even Facebook does that.
