That would be the antithesis of what Google does - they give away services for free in exchange for access to personal information that they use to sell more precise targeting to advertisers. Google's business relies on them being able to examine your personal data. That's how Gmail is paid for. Perhaps someone who has a different business model e.g. Samsung, Microsoft, or Apple should do this.

  But those are no more private than the unpaid ones. And they can still extract value by profiling you from your email and then displaying ads on search and other properties based on what they learn about you.
