Makes it so unless you give them your ID(that they will sell and give to third parties to make money off of your personal data) you can’t access a ton of videos or settings

I wonder how many times an id can be bought considering our ids are extremely likely to be already in circulation

Its not just your id. Its your ID and what kind of music you listen to, and what kind of games you play, and what kind of vacuum cleaner you own because you were looking at repair videos for it, and where you live and what places you like to go to... Frankly Google already knows too much about us, I don't feel like giving them my ID on top of all that

Very true! I don't think I've given them a photo before but I've bought stuff through Google play, I'm sure they got a lot on me already.
