It is pretty hard to grasp on first ready without stumbling through the phrasing. Especially the first part: “Ten years old being younger than the account had actually existed for might have” is extremely clunky. For one, you can just delete the end of it: “The user being younger than the account might have…”. Plus the subject & predicate get a bit confused, and you loose track of the point
Maybe this “You’d hope Google would notice the account was older than the user, especially with today’s advanced AI protections, but no”
Or even clearer: “You’d think Google, with all its advanced AI tooling, would notice the account was created before its creator was born (4 years earlier, apparently), but no”

I view it as a stylistic choice especially when sentences remain that short. I know English reader hates it when the verb is too far from subject however. Clearly, this one could be improved but I think calling it a failure of editorial standard is over harsh.
