Since this thread is about all Nougat-based settings for privacy &
security, I opened a separate tangential question so that we could iron out
whether anyone ever needs the bogus Android default Google account.

 How does the default "Google Account" on an Android phone benefit you? 
 <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.mobile.android/L16oLRH-jVc>

For the purpose of this thread on privacy & security, I assume in all posts
that the user has NEVER taken the Android defaults, and hence the user
either has no Android Google Account, or, the user has a bogus Android
Google Account (which the phone will happily set up at any time).

Example:
o real@google.com === your "real" Google account 
  (for various Google services, or none, at your discretion)
o bogus@gmail.com === your temporary "bogus" Android Google Account
  (which is what Android asks you to set up, by default, but which 
   can easily be deleted or never set up in the first place)
