This is really scary. I've always been a big fan of Google's products despite their issues, and losing an account would probably be 100x worse than losing all important documents at once. Unfortunately there's no real alternative to Google with full parity, aside from other proprietary platforms that have major downsides like Apple's high cost and incompatibility. There are open source voice assistants, but not every service supports them. And the things the do support might not have whatever crazy optimization Google does to make Keep load instantly from the widget. There are other email providers, but few free ones I would trust more than Google, small companies disappear all the time, and Google has a relatively good record of avoiding data breaches. Nobody except Google provides the APIs Android apps use, probably 60% of the usefulness of my phone would go away without their services, I would guess. Chrome could be taken over by the FOSS community if need be, although they have a habit of ripping out features so you might as well just use FF. There's alternatives for finding lost phones and recording location history... but what's the battery life like, and do they have the ability to remote lock a phone? I'm not sure how anyone would get away from Google without losing a lot. It doesn't seem like anyone but Apple has anywhere near that kind of integration platform. And the FOSS community seems to have little interest in duplicating the things that make Google what it is. Google provides dozens of minor conveniences that would be questionably worth it if you had to set them up individually, and definitely not worth it if they were even slightly worse implemented. It's extra concerning since a Pixel is high on my list for my next phone.
