And I think that's a good thing as long as it really works. AFAIK it should prevent the situation where you're taking your KDE laptop on a trip and GMail locks you out of your email because it catches you trying to log in from an unknown location.
That's a really annoying newfangled feature that I'd just as well turn off (but apparently cannot).

The dialog basically asks you to log into google services (authorise "akonadi services for google" to do it for you). Google can already access all the data protected by that authentication process. The request is not for authorising Google to access the data you have on your computer.

(That's for sending email). In other words, just accept what's being proposed and you should be fine.
