In emails case all the larger providers I'm aware of retire addresses to prevent this sort of abuse, probably learned the hard way. Could Google OAuth do something similar here?

It now occurs to me that large businesses might have the same issue with emails and former employees (easy to imagine John Smith departing and at a later date John Smith being hired) so I wonder how they typically handle this.

Companies generally don’t reuse emails. If you come back, you can sometimes get your old email and access to your old enabled services.

I know when interns were at Amazon and left, their accounts were disabled. But when they came back, they got their old accounts back and the related Slack users
