Na, there really have been issues lately where the sheer mass of data accumulated is adding up to some pretty massive bills for the data giants like Google. I think they just realised that a lot of dead accounts are giving them no value whatsoever, and so many of them have piled up that deleting them probably saves them a nice pile of money in infrastructure costs.
In most companies, most of what a devops “role” does would be handled by backend devs anyway. Plenty of crossover between a devops role and a backend dev role. The important thing is to get some work experience anywhere in development to make yourself look way more appealing in future job applications.
