This also makes me think that it's just too dangerous to use your long-time personal account to host Chrome extensions or Android apps that you financially depend on. The account for that should do absolutely nothing else, to have the minimum risk of it being arbitrarily shut down for something unrelated.

This also means e.g. ensuring that their recovery email address and phone number are separate, as Google has in the past linked accounts via them and shut down all linked accounts.

If you set up shell corporations appropriately, there's no problem. Only individual people have trouble.
