Google won't charge for gmail because it's a treasure trove of our most intimate secrets that are used as grist for it's advertising mill. Besides, the millisecond they do so I'm switching to someone like protonmail. The only reason I still use gmail today is that it's free and the inertia to move is huge. Google charging for gmail would be like meta charging for facebook. Our data is worth so much more to them than a few bucks a month in a service charge.
