I can't count how many stories lately I have read where some algorithm determined that someone's google account was in violation of one of google's rules and it will not tell them what is wrong specifically, and there is essentially no hope of appeal either because that is automated as well.
And someone looses other things that seem unrelated. Do something weird or uncommon with google adsense, loose your google drive too.
Personally, I haven't experienced this kind of bs yet. But at this point, I don't want to take chances with using another google service that could suddenly shutoff with no explanation and no hope to resolve the issue and taking out who knows what else at the same time.

The risk grows exponentially with each Google product one uses, including ones you don’t know about. Presumably including automated ML systems internal to Google to establish whether an account is kosher. Because of the exponential increase in risk and unresolved uncertainty I just don’t consider the risk to be worth it.
