Yes, 100%, and an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Here's how I got over the migration hump: I span up my personal email (cloudflare and fastmail, nothing fancy) and then every time google did something evil I channeled my frustration into migrating an account or two over to the new email. After about two years, I was done. It feels really good to have a meaningful (if tiny and personally-scoped) response when when a megacorp does evil with impunity.
