I was very happy to get one of the first Gmail accounts in my country, when it was by invitation only. But this is a distant memory, and nowadays I avoid relying on any single big corporation for anything. Particularly I avoid Google. My main email is in my own domain(s) (paid in intervals of ten years) with gandi.net. Using Duck duck go everywhere I can. I have an Android phone by necessity and because there is no real alternative. I download all my pictures and store them with pCloud instead. No G-drive or Dropbox, as I can't trust these services at all. My Gmail account is used for things that can get spam. All important accounts are in the email of my domain(s). If Google decides to cancel my Google account, it would be a minor nuisance, mainly related to reinstalling the smartphone apps with another account, and that's it.
