I searched before posting this, and it seems like this issue goes back YEARS.

Yes:

Could you change it to something more appropriate like:
"Download not possible at this point in time - If we ever get around to figuring out how add docs.google.com in (HA!), it just might work, but honestly, after many years of trying it is beyond our reach, so don't even bother clicking on the account manager icon and trying to add your google account because it will just be an exercise in futility! It will only cause you to make a snarky post on the forum highlighting an issue that we are hoping you will just forget"

By saying, "try with your google account", you are giving us false hope, when you honestly know it doesn't work.... programmers sick joke?
:outch:

I get the WARNING that I should try using my docs.google.com account...

You might misunderstand something:
1. If we would do that for every broken plugins' login process, simply maintaining the "login is currently broken" messages would probably take too much time for us to handle
2. We are not too proud to display another errormessage.
In the download process we are always trying to show the correct exceptions so upper handling can do its job and display an errormessage accordingly.
I will not change the message that appears when you attempt a DRive/Docs download.
3. However it really isn't looking good for the google login - especially because we cannot just use their API and the web login process is constantly changing.
You are free to tell me other tools that can handle this fine - and I mean downloadmanager-like tools, not just single Python scripts
For this reason, I changed the errormessage that appears when you try to add a Google Account:
