Except you can have one account to cover all those Google services. Meaning it must be trivial for Alphabet/Google to do the same.

Just because your average engineer isn't allowed to, doesn't mean they can't do it at "special requests", like law enforcement or "research".

To put it another way, it's to much potential power to entrust with a single company.
