Access to a real email address is an essential element, in recovering account and blog ownership.
You are allowed to publish a blog anonymously - with support from Blogger.
You are permitted to setup a Blogger account - and to publish a Blogger blog - without being contacted by Blogger or Google. If you remember the account name and password, you can maintain and publish a blog indefinitely, without unwanted privacy violation.
When you setup your Blogger account, you can use any available account name. Similarly, you can use any acceptable email address - neither real or not, nor owned by you, being a requirement.
You need to login, using your Blogger account, to maintain or publish your blog.
You will need to login, as the blog owner, if you wish to maintain and publish a blog, however. And if the account and / or blog are deleted or locked, because of (bogus) abuse classification, or hacking detection, you will need to login as the blog owner, to recover the account and / or blog.
Account / blog recovery, for truly anonymous owners, will be limited.
Blogger provides very limited account and blog recovery options. You may not be able to recover control of the blog - if you cannot access the blog because you forget the account name / password, and used a bogus email address when registering. Also, you may not be able to request review - if the account or blog is deleted or locked, because of bogus abuse classification, or hacking detection.
Blogger cannot accept your word, that you are the blog owner - nor can they use an ad hoc authentication technique, such as your passport photo, which may match the photo on the blog itself.
The choices are yours, to make - and the consequences will be yours, also.

I forgot my account name / password, and I am not getting any email from "Forgot?"!These are two hypothetical problem reports, that are all too real, for many blog owners.
