why should google fucking give you an email account? that's the honey pot itself, you fucking idiot. they give you an email so they can read all your emails, stupid asshole. they don't need your ID, if you're using it for anything semi important, you are already giving away your information to google, so stop pretending it's a secure platform to begin with.
The are multiple levels of intrusion. As of right now, they have minimal information about me. They don't know where I live, who I am, what my phone number is, what my name is.
Aside from that, your argument was that its purpose is to combat spammers/scammers. First of all, they can create e-mails from any account. As far I remember you could even send e-mails from your PC itself - you just need some kind of storage/server to receive them especially in times where your computer is not running. Second, you can just acquire cheap fake phone numbers. Third, you can literally give fake e-mail addresses.
I've seen what e-mails are. They are just some XML or HTML format, and the entire system is built on trust - trusting that whatever is in the e-mail code is correct. The receiving e-mail server doesn't do any verification check of the e-mail sent either - how could it? Only by asking the sending e-mail server (if existing) if it has a record of an e-mail being sent, and a checksum of its content. But that's not part of how e-mails work - there is no shared protocol either.
Maybe something has changed over the past years, and only *some* e-mail providers adapted it, but the actual standard is the barebone minimum necessary to make it work.
You could replace the entire e-mail system with a modern, secure, foolproof system. But it would be a new system.

You are a moron. Go learn about SPF/DMARC/DKIM and then realize why you are dumb
