Step 1) look for dead people Step 2) wait for two years Step 3) sign up with their gmail Step 4) realize all their data is wiped but all those other accounts linked to this don’t know Step 5) try reset password for twitter, Facebook, GitHub, every bank, etc etc using email Step 6) wreak havoc pretending to be dead person

Seems like a security risk to delete. Their excuse that old accounts are more likely to have weak passwords is silly since google never expires passwords. Seems like from a security standpoint, you would keep the account forever but just disable it.
