Account lockout with no recovery path when phone is stolen and backup authentication methods are inaccessible

Users who lose their phone and have enabled 2FA face complete account lockout across all critical services (email, banking, cloud storage) because Google's recovery options all require access to the stolen phone, a forgotten old email, or the missing device itself. Current recovery flows assume users have maintained access to backup authentication methods, leaving those without these options completely locked out of essential accounts with no human support escalation path.
