Would OS age verification laws affect a Google account on GrapheneOS? (sh.itjust.works)

I understand that GrapheneOS will not require age verification, but what if I'm using a Google account on it? Will I still be able to use my Google account for the Play store on a GrapheneOS phone? (In the US) Thanks in advance

bc someone might still be dependent on certain services that he or she wasnt able to replace just yet.

Also: "perfect" is a the arch-enemy of "good". Every bit of de-americanization, de-corporatification counts, and comments like yours somewhat disencourage people to even begin the journey. Bc "why even degoogle my OS, if I cant degoogle from that one since particular service 🤷". It's the same reason some people are not fighting climate change. Why care for my CO2 emission, if India or China wont budge?" We wont score perfect, so I wont even try."

That concept is called Practical Utilitarism

Every step in the right direction is worth taking. Doesn’t have to be perfect, as long as there’s movement in this direction. Many people seem to miss this point.
