Considering APPLE goes so far to make you confirm DUNS numbers for a company acct. It seems like this would have been a good mitigating practice and already has precedence. While it’s a PITA it makes sense.

The core issue is that Apple uses humans to evaluate these requests and provide a point of contact with businesses. Google believes any process requiring a human is broken.
