The rest of your complaints make sense but this one is bizarre. It's a recovery email, isn't having access to it the entire point? Like what else did you think it was supposed to be there for beside being accessible?
Google clearly misused it for something else, and you have a strong argument they shouldn't have. This one sentence just needlessly weakens the argument.
It was pretty sobering when Google demonstrated to me a new and novel way that made them the actual threat to my account security. I thought that by carefully refusing to publish anything with their add-ons (YouTube, Docs, Android Store, etc, etc) that I'd avoid getting swept up in an autoomated account-wide bannination, but, nope. A perfectly ordinary login to the account I'd had for years from the exact same location and IP address I'd used the day before was "suspicious" and required "recovery".
Best treat all org controlled email address as temporary.
If Google wanted to lock me out of my account for my own good until I enabled 2FA, fine. But as GP stated, they abused the recovery email addresses to force 2FA on people and ended up locking some people out of their accounts.
