Well this is a weirdly US-centric view.. You seem to assume that all people not living in the US are actually just waiting to emigrate their. I'm quite happy in Spain, thanks!
It's not about emigrating there, it's about merely being able to go. And in tech, being unable to enter the US is a hurdle.

Many VPNs do actually leak your IP address. Beyond that, your VPN traffic could be associated with your billing information for said VPN. Also by coresponding the traffic to the VPN and coming out of the VPN. Or if you have any personal information associated with your Google account or have ever accessed it with an IP associated with you. Look out the window. They're in the ice cream truck.
"your VPN traffic could be associated with your billing information for said VPN" - that's why I asked a friend from a completely different country to sign up for me (we are good friends with high technical prowess and he knows what he's up to).
In other words, I don't think your solution is very good. It might delay things a few minutes or hours at best.

#123I ran it yesterday and I open my Google account today. It's not suspended. It probably I ran it without signing in Google.
