I’ve been slowly transitioning away for almost a year now. And I was all in on google products and services.
I got rid of my android, switched to iPhone, was gonna go with protonmail, but went with Hey instead and I have zero regrets, Hey is awesome! Cancelled my YouTube premium/music subscription and switched to Apple Music.
Recently I’ve been going through my password manager and updating accounts and services to use my new email address. I’ve almost completely transitioned away. I’ll still keep my google account for stuff like my Stadia games (and tbh Stadia is actually pretty good), chromecasts, and my nest thermostats, but when we move I’ll probably leave them with the house.
Unfortunately there isn’t really any good neutral replacements for email + calendar + contacts, etc.
They do exist, but I just found switching phone ecosystems easier than anything else.
