I feel like you are intentionally ignoring the dangers of crossing a road where there is a higher probability of dying than a FAANGM deleting your account.
Not sure I understand the argument, everything with a lower probability than dying is not worth fixing? If you are in higher risk groups (journalist, critical of Google, using virtual phone numbers etc) is the probability still low?
Account deletion is not the only risk, it's also privacy (Google knows what you sign into and when) and a myriad other advantages (native payments being the obvious one).
From elsewhere in this thread:
