I disagree. There are reasons to switch off gmail. Not just Google eating mail but also for privacy reasons. Google knows all about your banking, eCommerce orders, your media subscriptions, health issues and many other dependencies.
A good alternative is protonmail. It is private, has a mobile app, is a free but you can also pay to support the service. I also consider protonmail much more secure than gmail.

I need 3 personal inboxes, 2 home business inboxes (bills, etc), and the ability to make new inboxes for stupid startup prototypes you buy a domain for, hack on for a few days with dreams of huge sales, and then forget about for a year until the domain expires. You know, normal hacker stuff.
