    Right, but then the account is inextricably tied to your Android device, no? Which is just as bad, if not worse imo.

      But you can just use some old phone. Or perhaps emulator or something like Bliss OS installed on USB stick or in a VM.

      But Google can and will probably link it with any device you log in on anyway. And after all, Android devices don’t have to be used just by one person either. So perhaps removing the account from the device is good enough.
