Regulators won't ever save you. * buy a domain name on namecheap * setup a proton mail account (think you'll wind up paying some for it, but its worth it) * link your domain name to your proton mail account and setup an alias * forward your gmail to the new alias on the domain name that you control * slowly start converting all the references to your old gmail to the new account (And while nothing is perfect so protonmail/namecheap isn't perfect, any other suggestions will probably trigger people's executive dysfunction and they'll do nothing rather than focus on the fact that this is a portable solution and 2 years later if they find something they like better they can easily switch)
