The biggest difficulty is that many of the web 'accounts' I've created have been only ever accessed via my Google account- i.e. I effectively don't have an account there w/o my Google account.
I assume Github and some of the others have mechanisms to migrate to a 'local' account, but I'm fairly sure some of the others would involve basically starting from scratch.
That said, for $17,000, of course I would, it would pay for the inconvenience many times over.

Unless I'm reading TFA wrong, they're not paying you, you're paying them. I took it to mean that they are trying to place a value on personal data required for such "free" internet services as Google.
