Why g-mail instead of a more security focused provider like proton-mail? It seems to me like the only downside of proton-mail is that it is less well-known, but I'd compare it to signal vs whatsapp. And you can get journalists to use signal.
Only other thing I can think of is google being more secure by virtue of being bigger.

(https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2017/02/fuzzing-PCI-Express-security-in-plaintext.html?m=1 https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2017/02/fuzzing-PCI-Exp...) How many organizations globally are doing research like that?
