probably something difficult to know for a fact, as most people may not pick their tools as consciously. I however remember vividly the clean design winning me over instantly, compared to the alternatives, which were overloaded with ads or other content I was not interested in. same could and still can be said for gmail compared to other freemailers like gmx. but I'm sure google will not stop enshittifying all their services till they are ready for their graveyard.
