This is pretending that, as others have noted, Google haven't made a habit of locking out accounts for no reason and providing no path to recovery.
That's the point: Google wants to collect your digital life and control it. But they also don't want to deal with any requirements to ensure you can actually use or recover it expediently.
So it's not "if Google close up shop" it's "due to reasons we've (our AI decided too) ban your account. Don't bother contacting us, as there is no customer service".

If Google locks your account, you lose the ability to add new devices to that account but all of your current devices will still have their synced keys stored on their devices as well as the ability to use other passkeys, recovery codes, etc. If Google locks your account, this is nowhere near the biggest problem you’ll have.
