This is an obscene exaggeration.
You are seriously overestimating how much significance Google has, and how irreplaceable they are in people's lives.
If you've never seriously bothered looking into leaving the Google ecosystem though, I could see how you might think that way.
The hardest part about transitioning away from Google for me personally, was the time it took to switch all my accounts from one email address (GMail) to others (Kolab, Posteo).
It was still no more than a few hours of one day. After that, no more Google. I've been free of any Google accounts or services for around 4 years now and despite an initial headache, I don't feel like I'm missing any irreplaceable conveniences.
