A related topic. I saw Google create hotmail accounts on the Gmail platform e.g., myname@hotmail.com when myname@hotmail.com was a functioning email ID on outlook.com.

I was able to login to Gmail with myname@hotmail.com and send emails. Emails were however being received only on the outlook.com account. Blew my mind.

A Google account was being created without Gmail in this case.
