A rule of thumb when dealing with anything Google: never become too reliant on anything made by Google. They tend to depreciate almost everything eventually.
I wonder what year they’ll sunset Gmail. Nothing is forever, surely some PM in 2033 will decide that email is over and it’s time to push everyone to Gemini Messenger.
I’ve been trying to move away from gmail for some critical services (like banking) for this reason. But my list of random accounts tied to gmail (like the Parisian métro keeps growing).
