The OP wasn't clear, but I think I know what they mean.
Years ago they offered Google Apps For Your Domain (GAFYD) - this was a normal Google account, but with your domain on it. I had one, probably for around 15 years or so, as did many other adopters and fanboys.
GSuite came around, paid, and the GAFYD stuff became free GSuite account. This is where the problems started - we didn't want GSuite, we wanted a Google account on our domain with the same services. Hell, I didn't even mind paying GSuite prices, but what I did mind was services didn't work.
So a few months ago I spent 3 days moving stuff from my GAFYD account to a normal Google one. Plenty of stuff is lost - photo metadata and free Pixel storage, Assistant functionality, tonnes of these things. All could have been avoided had Google bothered to write a conversion for this, but they didn't bother as usual.
So, yeah, your GSuite clients may not want that - understood. However some of us were grandfathered into the GSuite limitations without a route to getting back out.
