Jan, I don't recall any hacks or data breaches to Google at all. I've seen plenty of other platforms with breaches like t-mobile but Google is pretty secure. I think you're acting a little paranoid in protecting your phone number. I can pay some online service and get your home address, phone numbers, and social security number if I wanted to. This information that you think is very secure is almost public knowledge for a fee.
As others have said, DKIM/SPF are industry standards, not Google, and they're pretty old at this point. DMARC is newer, to me at least, in the last several years so not every platform gives much weight to this but DKIM and SPF is a must nowadays for any email provider.
