And it sounds like a complete nightmare when you're one of those people whose Google account gets suspended for some random reason, with no appeal process and no way to contact actual customer service.

Now you don't have any ID either, and can't prove who you are.

Well, what is the difference to today even if you can proof who you are?

    The difference is that as much as being cut off from Google sucks today, right now it doesn't mean you also e.g. lose access to your digital porn library that you paid for.

      I think that’ll be the least of your worries.

      Think of all the authentication mechanisms you rely on: credit cards, food delivery, smart locks, uber, parking, ev charging, email, messaging, intuit, dmv and so on.

      Now imagine you’re permanently banned from them all with no appeal and no way to create new accounts.
