Do you create a new Google account every time you change phones? They're already tying everything to you

I have 1 Google account use specifically for spammy shit. That account is tied to a completely fictional person and lives inside 1 chromium browser.

My phones and computers have never seen a Google account other than inside the VM that runs that browser.
