Convenience & (for me personally) superbe sender reputation and spam filtering.

  That was a rhetorical question really. Although I think we do need trimmed down easy to use personal/home mailservers/dnsservers -- which are easy to deploy and configure and totally inappropriate for running a Fortune 500 company -- and those need to be incorporated into consumer electronic boxes (similar to a home NAS) to make them easy to deploy to dramatically drop the barrier to ditching gmail. I've also never had an issue with sender reputation -- but I have an .org domain and its run DKIM+SPF for years so the last time I got forged bounce spam must have been a decade or more ago. Sender reputation is probably a bit overblown and possibly even a bit of a lie by google to keep you locked into gmail. If you are in a TLD that people have to trust and have a domain which is secured, then your e-mails will go through, even if your mail volume is low. Spam filtering is a bit annoying though, DNS blackhole lists tend to shitcan quite a bit of necessary e-mail that some neckbeard has gotten themselves in a twist over.
