Creating accounts for other companies is easier than creating a new Google account, though. I tried to create a new Google account for a webservice that only allowed third-party logins: The account was requiring a phone number immediately after creating it. After begrudgingly entering a phone number (that was, to be fair, already used with another Google account - I don't have random burner phone numbers lying around), the account was locked due to "unusual behavior". (This was a Google account with an existing mail address from a normal mail provider, no new Gmail account, btw.) In contrast, most "normal", non-SV companies don't even ask for a phone number as a hard requirement, yet alone decide your fate by ML algos.
