Today I noticed there is no way to create a Google account without a creating a Gmail account. I remember it was possible.

At least ChatGpt gives an option to sign up with any email.

I just checked and I see the option to use an existing email address (in Russia). It's available in the account creation form, as an option below the field that asks you what you want your GMail-address to be.

Might be A/B-testing though and you're in a group that doesn't have it available at the moment.

I’ve also recently been able to create a Google account with my own email domain, from Germany.
