There is an extent they can go to with account verification where gaming is not very feasible.

Can you create a fake account with a verified credit card number, verified phone number, passport, drivers license, account history consistent with human usage, Google One subscription, etc.? You probably can, but doing it at-scale is going to be quite costly.

Can you get a lot of people to install a piece of software and then use their account instead? Could you even pay those people per hour of usage of their account?

Quite cheaply

I don't think we need this that bad so as to jeopardize our privacy and freedom over it. So I'll pass on this idea.
