You're probably correct on your assumption that Google also will lose something if they start banning accounts without warning.
You can also be certain that I, as well as other technically inclined persons, will try and get what they want through other means. A valid point.
Considering this, the only strategy I can see them using is some scare tactics. You will lose your Google account if you keep doing what you do, so give us money! This, however, will only work if they give people warnings, which they haven't don't yet.
Thank you for your input, much appreciated! I'll stick to a VPN for now, as it doesn't cost me anything. I'm just a cautious person.
