I'm gonna discuss something that likely .001% of people on earth know.

I would agree with everyone that the common experience is the shop
personnel (who migrate phones all day, every day) will be using their
Google account to migrate the apps over. 

They even tried that with me when I had my free phone replaced (twice!)
under warranty due to me screwing it up by sleeping on it & bricking it.

Bear in mind when I transfer a phone's apps, I transfer the exact
homescreen (icon names and locations exactly) which people will never get
with the Google transfer.

I also transfer the exact sub versions (if I want to), which, again, people
don't get with the Google transfer.

Since the app isn't installed at first, when that homescreen is copied
over, most of the app icons are grayed out, but I only have to tap them.

Likely 0.001% of the people on earth can even understand what I just said.
If they use the Google method, they lose out on all this simplicity.

I'll wager no clerk in any phone store has any clue of what I just said.
