I answered on the linked thread, but I'll also clarify here that signing up to Fandom via Google does not cause one to not have autoconfirmed rights that allow editing certain restricted pages. Such a restriction is applied to everyone under any registration method.

It is definitely understandable how a quick way to sign up like using your Google account can cause this confusion since, as you mentioned, this penalty can mitigate spam by making sign-up more laborous. Not to fear, though: you haven't been penalised for using your Google account.

Kind regards.
