The Google assumption seems to be that you have one Google account, which is your singular identity. The reality for many people is that they have multiple Google accounts, none of which is their singular identity. The multi-account support they've added only serves to inadvertently spread your data across multiple accounts, rather than make it easier to work with them.
As an example, I ended up on YouTube the other day and, for some reason, was logged into my work Google account; curious, I clicked on 'Favorites' and found that some videos that I'd favourited once (and later been unable to find) were favourited there. Frustrating. There was also a moderate browsing history of videos, some of which I had likewise been looking for in the past.
Honestly, if it weren't for YouTube favourites I probably wouldn't log into any Google websites at all.
