I wish google would have a store you could bring an ID to get your official account unlocked (I have no idea if Apple offers that). A lot of people are getting locked out of their lifes. So many administrations you can only connect to if you have an email or a phone number associated. There is really a need for users to recover by another mean. And sure things are written when you setup your account and the cynicals here will say "caveat emptor", but when you don't know how those things work the amount of information is overwhelming. And often you end up having someone else do the setup for you. Or whatever other reason people designing those systems don't think about.
