How to make a Google account anonymously

I found that if you let the session linger, perform a few Google searches, watch a YouTube video or two, and then return in 48 to 72 hours, it reverts to SMS (Chrome running on macOS, 3 day old experience). I also created an account on stock Android about 3 weeks ago, no QR and optional phone number, so it depends on your signals. No VPN for both.
