Not to dunk on this poor fellow, but...

(a) it's a walled garden ...
(b) ... owned by an enormous corporation ...
(c) ... answerable to no one except its shareholders and, to a limited extent, some governments

You have no power there. You play in the garden, or not, at their whim. They need not give you an opportunity to protest their decision to allow you, or not. And they don't need to explain themselves to you.

Lesson: don't choose the walled garden.

The problem here is "Google adding a new required authentication step which is physically impossible for many users to complete".

How exactly the user goes about "solving their own problem" here , as you say, is, I suppose, An Exercise Left To The Reader.

Rotary phones were in use long after that in Canada, and probably other places, but touch-tone was also available. In the late 80s/early 90s I still had a line that would only do pulse dialing, because touch-tone dialing was an add-on charge with the phone company where I lived.

It was a significant amount; just adding touch-tone support increased the monthly bill by almost 10%. Yes, this was a BS charge, because it was just a flag they set on your account. It didn't cost them anything to provide tone dialing. They still do the same thing with caller-ID, so I don't have it. "We don't care. We're the phone company; we don't have to."

At the time, many (perhaps most) phones you could buy had push-button dialing, but there was a switch on the phone to choose pulse or tone dialing. If you set it to pulse, you'd push the 7 button, and then you'd hear 7 clicks, etc.

So kind of "hybrid dialing".
