I was honestly thiiis close to just removing the gmail.com profile altogether, since Google doesn't use the gmail.com domain for any web access to Gmail any more (everything redirects to a subdomain of google.com now). I ultimately decided to keep it, just because it's the last part of so many addresses and its absence could thus be confusing, but it was a tough decision.
Anyway, report:
Registration
perfunctory is gauged as a "strong" password, wtf?
Gender accepts "Female", "Male", "Other", and "Rather not say"
"Location" tooltipped as "Your country or territory of residence."
The "Verify added address" email came before the "Your Gmail address has been created" email
Resetting password
Seems to have an "Enter the last password you remember" recovery method, which... still lets you pick an email address? Maybe this way you can send it to any email? Didn't test
It's probably a mechanism to let the user pick any email tied to the account, rather than having Google pick it
going through the "login trouble" path twice sends two emails, but both will have the same code
lol look how much less boilerplate the plaintext email has
Changing password via settings
The new password and new password confirmation when changing password are independently toggleable
