I feel the same kind of hesitation. For example I'd like to try the Google Cloud Vision API but what if Google starts to think I'm violating copyright or something and nukes my gmail account? If I create a new account and use the same card I pay for Google One would it then correlate them and nuke them both?

Google has definitely saved money not having a support system staffed with actual real people, but have they quantified how much it's hurt their business vis a vis customer mistrust thinking that if something happens they'll be stonewalled by Google's inhuman bureaucracy?
