connection != account

You can do the Pixel unlocking whilst driving by the random McD.

I'm quite surprised it flies with the team.

That's not much of a distinction considering that it's trivial to create an email/account (without a phone number, even!) with fake information.

That's a massive difference to me (you rightly called me out on that one).

One is 5 seconds on wifi, second is grumbly attempts to create throwaway email to create the throwaway account.

I agree in principle but disagree because I hate unnecessary friction.
