The Google apps function like a security key. I pay Google too much every month for Youtube TV that I don't watch, and at this point isn't a bargain compared to restoring television service to the Comcast plan I need anyway for internet access.
When users access many types of paid subscription accounts, they are asked to confirm the login in a Google app on their mobile device. It's dangerous if vulnerabilities aren't being fixed and their servers still trust these apps to authenticate.
On another note, over the past year a few people have told me their new email addresses, then they continued using Gmail out of inertia. A significant enough problem with their aging apps could be the event that gets users to follow through and make a transition away from using Google services as a default.
