Yea "hd" doesn't work here.

Users can make google accounts with corporate domains but without gsuite hosting attached. The same concern applies to just @gmail.com addys. Google has gotten big on nuking inactive accounts now, what stops similar openings where a person's inactive account gets recreated by an attacker and waltz his way into SSO systems? There's some corporate systems (usually benefits) that allow personal emails attached to the same account as work emails for example.

I imagine the fact the author is writing that Google reopened the bug and is issuing a bounty means there are Google engineers more than aware of the issue rather than trying to argue what Google does and does not intend.

Once a Gmail account is deleted, it can't be recreated by anyone, including the original owner.
