Google have lots of little, ill-fitting appendages attached to the mothership. Just like Apple have their App Store (a cash cow) and MS have Edge and a variety of awkward apps bogging Windows down. They don't fit in well with the overall image and vision of those companies and are not really sustainable long term. I think gmail is liable to get axed one day when google gets tired of it. I think that day is still a long way away. But like all of the above, i wonder if google takes (free) gmail seriously.
