I remember a story where a guy had the DNS of his custom mail domain changed after a malicious actor social engineered his domain name provider. The story was coupled with the recommendation to use a mail provider for the added protection that it would in theory be way less likely for their domain used by many accounts to be hijacked in this way. The guy got really screwed because once they got his domain and thus his email they could change passwords all over. I finally ditched gmail once I realized how politically motivated Google was, and I also realized that I’d rather have a company owe me the service rather than using a free one where they could technically disable my email at any time.
