Email address for Chrome Web Store developer account

Google states:

You must provide a developer email when you create your developer account; here are some tips about which email to use:

Because you will receive important emails about your extension or you may want to delete one of your accounts, we suggest using a new email account just for publishing your Chrome Web Store items.

https://developer.chrome.com/docs/webstore/register/

What does "wanting to delete one of your accounts" mean? Is this specific for the developer account or do they refer to the Google account?

Here they state:

First you will need to register as a Chrome Web Store developer. We suggest using a new account just for your item instead of your personal account.

https://developer.chrome.com/docs/webstore/publish/

What does a "new account just for your item mean"? Does this mean a separate account for each extension I publish? Again, what type of account? Can a Google account hold multiple developer accounts so the reference is to the developer account or do they mean separate Google accounts per item?

"wanting to delete one of your accounts"

In some time in the future, you may want to delete the email account you had used to register with chrome webstore as developer, for some other reason, but didn't want to accidentally lose access or risk losing your published extensions getting removed. So it is advised to use a different account than your personal/primary email address for chrome web developer account.

There is no specific need for separate email accounts or developer accounts for each extension. One google account can create one developer account only.
