And? What if I want to automate my login flow?

You'll need to find another provider which doesn't care that much about preventing phishing attacks. Google accounts are a big target so it makes sense you move away from the masses.
In practice it just means faking the user-agent and other fingerprinting more enthusiastically. I'm not sure how google can win that without resorting to the same anti-cheat measures as games companies.
You'll try, but the first time you won't know what fingerprinting tests they are going to do. After a few iterations you'll succeed, but it will be obvious to Google that the account you've just been testing it on belongs to someone trying to break their auth restrictions...

Good luck keeping your account!
