Yet, just a day or so ago, this other HN post about securing Google Workspace properly received all sorts of comments about further suggestions for using the system "better". My own comment that people should simply avoid Google entirely for anything important if at all possible was downvoted heavily. How anyone could keep recommending Google products for anything important with fiascos like this example from Business Insider is beyond me. The chances of having your crucial Google services locked up may be small in absolute terms (depending on how you use the company's products) but the risk is there and well worth seriously considering. Big tech companies deserve ferocious criticism for unresponsive algorithmic shittiness like this. It makes them in some ways even worse than government bureaucracies. To consider them as sole options for necessary services and products is enough to make one shiver.
