Contrary to popular belief Google doesn't run email. It more or less does so in the US, but only there people were so enthusiastic to jump onto their platform. Probably a result of other US alternatives being that bad. But in many other countries, gmail isn't that successful. Still, email is still under attack by big mail servers getting more and more restrictive.
