The major unexamined assumption here for me is that identity is unitary. In fact I have different names for different groups and I don't want them linked together.
And that doesn't mean by everyone except Google. I don't want Google to consider me a single identity across its different accounts, either.

I've had Google prompt me to associate separate accounts across different domains (each driven by google apps). And I've had Google prompt me to merge what it determined were 'duplicate' email addresses into one contact for several of my friends/family -- it connected work accounts, pseudonymous webmail accounts, personal domain accounts, etc. You may not want to make the connection official, and I understand and respect that. But Google already has the data to know with some confidence. And that's not just a hypothetical capability; they're demonstrably doing it.
