If someone wants to stop using gmail, it's horribly inconvenient to move to another service. You need to update your email with all your other accounts, which for most people is pretty much unfeasible. You can't take your @gmail.com address, which means switching email providers is extremely difficult. There should really be some consumer protection laws around email.

You can do it at your own pace. Consumer protection laws requiring data portability would still be welcome.
