I'd rather have my bank abruptly close my account for opaque reasons than fraudulently open additional accounts in my name.

Well...latter is illegal and the former isn't (usually) so I think there's a bit of apples-to-oranges, but yeah you got me, as we've seen being a regulated institution isn't a guarantee of good behavior. I still think the incentive, opportunity and the inclination of Google to not act in my interest is pretty high.
