It is not compatible with a lot of stuff. Can't subscribe to youtube premium family. Can't use android automotive. Can't use this that etc. I switched to my old basic google account for google services and probably move my domains away from gsuite at this point.

I still have the weird issue where I have a google domain with email and stuff, and the same email address is somehow also a separate google account of the personal variety. No idea how it somehow kinda works and when it’ll finally explode in my face.

  This is perfectly supported.

    You would think this, but one wrong move and its all gone. In the process of migrating away from GSuite for my personal domain/email hosting, my had-already-existed-prior-to-GSuite google account was closed., unrecoverably as far as I can tell. I lost a literal lifetimes worth of school and personal work that I had naively assumed was safe, and of course there is no actual support available to a one man closed GSuite account.

  Get your domain hosted by another service, pronto. You're risking losing everything if Google decides to brick your account(s) by decision or accident.

    I have a backup of my email, and my domain DNS/registrar is not Google, so the real worst I'll be hit with is a loss of email for a bit as the DNS updates.

      Ok cool. When you said "I have a Google domain" I assumed the worst. Everyone else: do NOT use Google as your registrar. Just don't.

        oh no, I hate crossing registrar and other providers, even using (say) godaddy for DNS and registrar weirds me out; too many chances something goes horribly wrong (and then you can't transfer the domain).

Just got a new car with Android Automotive and this is incredibly aggravating. Maybe it's for the best that I use a dummy gmail account with the service but it just shows I'm paying Google to be a lesser class citizen and maybe it's time to migrate the whole thing.
