  Andy's reference is about enabling 2SV in an existing Google Account,
not about creating a new account.

  Creating a new Google Account without a phone number has always been
possible, at least it still was on October 23 when I last tested this
(probably/possibly (also) for you).

  But it did require to specify a birthday.

  I specified a birthday, set Gender to "Rather don't say" and skipped
the recovery e-mail and the phone number. So the only info Google has is
a fake name and a fake birthday.
