How does this work with Android mobile devices that are linked to that account?

From a non-technologist perspective, is a linked Android device becomes neutered?

You can use android phones without a Google account right
But you'd lose all content you paid for.

Apps, games, movies, books, youtube paid things, etc.

Hmm true, apart from apps those are all available outside of android so I didn't really consider it.

But that's why I back up my media in the first place, Google can't steal my epub of the book I bought, nor can audible steal the m4a of the audiobook I bought.

Not yet.
Not easily, especially if you aren't tech-minded.
