Google is working hard to make it so you shouldn't be able to easily make new accounts. New accounts basically require a phone number and you can only use one phone number so many times before they won't let you use that phone number any more times. Grandfathered accounts don't have this problem yet so this is why Google is trying to crack down on long-unused accounts.
