  porting your G Suite legacy free account to a consumer Google account still means that you can’t keep your existing email address with a custom domain name I'm not certain they've correctly interpreted that. The source says "This new option won’t include premium features like custom email", which I think may be different. I suspect that means keeping the email address, but losing some of the ability to manage multiple email addresses as an entity. I'm not sure what's included there, but I think color and design schemes are one of them. And I think you'd lose the ability to have a catchall email address -- something I actually use and like, and would have to consider. But I used it mostly as a spam trap, which is less important now that spam filters are better. So it sounds like what you'd get if you had a traditional email account with some other provider and used it as your Google login -- which comes with Gmail, Google Docs, Google Pay, and a ton of other things. You don't lose the address -- at least, not the actual addresses attached to accounts, as opposed to the myriad fake addresses I have that end up in catchall.
