I don't even mind paying for it but the nature of the transition and the cost for the features is obscene. For example, I have a secondary address for business reasons and in the new g suite that has to be an "account" which costs money every month

I maybe mistaken but I believe you can create additional aliases under the same account -- I seem to remember doing that a few months back when I got auto-updated to Google Workspace.

No it doesn't? You can set up unlimited aliases, afaik. If you want to have separate access however, it does. I'm currently planning to migrate my script-sending email address to mailgun or SES instead of using a separate gmail user.

  I believe i've hit a limit before, but I just was able to add about 50 aliases to myself so it seems the limit has been increased or removed.

  That's not a separate address/mailbox, that's a forwarding alias

As others have said, you can set up aliases / groups and those do not require additional accounts. Also if you’re the only account then you can just configure a catch-all in the routing section so that anything@your domain goes to you. That’s no additional cost even on these basic accounts I believe. I use this so I can also track by using a new address for each service (e.g. twitter@mydomain.com, ebay@mydomain.com, etc)

  I do the catch-all too, it works with the free version but will it still work with the paid version, even the cheapest tier ? At this point I have given around a crazy number of stuff@my.domain addresses, some of them for pretty important stuff, and while I don't mind paying for the service (I really like the GMail UI, matter of taste I suppose, and that justifies the price for me), I really need the feature as loosing it would be nearly as bad as loosing the "primary" email address.
