Its not always so mate. If your gmail account is not connected with your phone number and also without security questions, it is easier for anyone to login once the person have your login details. Hackers always have ways and methods they use and do to obtain login details or login into other people's email accounts. We just have to be vigilant on the internet.
No google will ask some proof that you own that Gmail account even you know the login details if your device is not recognized it will ask some question. I already tried to log in on different devices with different IP but google always asking some question before I can access the Gmail account. Even I provided some of the google questions it will still end up asking for code through SMS to login. Unlike in my old phone which is recognized I can easily access the Gmail account without questions.
You maybe logging in on some devices that you thought it's not connected before. That is why it's not asking some 2step question.
Gmail doesn't allow logins from an unrecognized device. It needs a verification code coming from a recognized device. So even the hacker knows your password, they can't just easily login. By hitting forgot the password, it also needs confirmation via phone, security question or alternate email which you set as recovery email.

My Gmail doesn't associate with any of my phone numbers. Even I know my password, I can't log-in easily to my Gmail account elsewhere without the approval from one of my recognized device (pc, mobile).
In OP's case, there's lacking information so we can't just conclude what really happen. I believed he was tricked so he must not blame all of this to Gmail. Can't also believed that for a person holding BTC0.4, they should already know some of the basic security dealing with the internet.

I feel sorry for OP, another phishing attack who strikes...
Each day more and more scams and attacks hit users, so, you must be careful on each step, this was another of those non-cheap lessons, just take it and move on. In the future, if you will secure some btc i would like to recommend you to use a paper wallet.

I don't understand if how the hacker stole you 0.4 BTC? Did you send your BTC to your Email?
Since you have the registered number why not provide it as your evidence that you own that email? It's enough to prove that you own that Gmail account.
If they are asking more to recover your account like personal info or documents it's questionable unless if the reply is directly from real google support.
Check some of your device where your email is connected I'm sure it still connected with them if it's logout you can start recover them but in the same device so that Google will recognize your device as the old owner then start to provide your phone number until you receive a new code.
Just try because I have experienced before that I can't recover my account to other devices but I can recover them with my old phone where my email is connected before.

Maybe there are some details that you didn't mention.
And where's your BTC0.4 stored prior to hack?
You should be picky about opening a message because spam messages are everywhere once your email got leaked you will receive some random email out of nowhere. It's easy to know if a message is a scam/spam, you just have to look for their email address and do a little research if the email is legit or not. And you should not just trust some messages that asking your personal information to give to them, google will never ask your personal information.
What was the email address that was used for this email? Upon reading your story there's already something fishy that you should've noticed before giving him your accurate information.
Google will never give you a sort of form request for you to recover something from them and will have a tone of forcing you to give 'close estimation' with your details. I'll guess that the form that was given to you is through a google spreadsheet?
Can you provide us with additional information to verify that you are the owner of the account?
If this is the case, please access the account recovery form and send another request, providing us with as accurate information as possible. If you are not sure of a date, do not worry and just try to give as close an estimate as possible.
