I personally know multiple individuals with inaccessible google accounts. I'm sure there's millions of lost accounts. They're just gone, period. They're not happy about it, but what can you do? Best I can tell them is post about it on HN.

Account loss comes from many factors: failing to secure it and being hacked. Losing passwords or credentials. Abandonment. Inactivity. TOS violations. Death of user. There are many reasons accounts could be lost, and almost none of those reasons are no reason at all.
