Now I can understand why a real device would go offline, but a virtual device? That seems a little odd to me. I mean, it only exists in the Hub. So, how did it go offline?

The Google app doesn't know the difference between a virtual and a real device.
In any event, unless you have a specific need to run polling within that app it's recomended that it be disabled.
It is not required for Google assistant functionality.

Oh...I didn't even notice that they were all associated with the Google app.

I didn't see any direction on what it should be set for so I assumed it had to be set. I've disabled it.

I think I'll add a note on that logging page to clarify.
