> The day Google decides to lock your account (..) you are locked out from your digital life.
It takes getting banned because of mischief, perceived mischief, or algorithmic error on one of their services to instantly, and usually permanently, lose access to all of their services, and any other third party service you logged into with Google.
In other words: make a "wrong" comment on YouTube, and you lose decade(s) of your e-mails. If you were running your small business off Google's Office Suite on your personal account, well, you can kiss your business goodbye.
(In case anyone doubts that happens, I recommend checking out https://9to5google.com/2019/11/09/google-account-bans-youtub... for a recent example.)
And, of course, this pattern of behavior is not limited to Google. Big cloud services all have problematic or nonexistent customer support experience - a consequence of scaling up without paying the associated costs. It's thus more important than ever to diversify one's digital footprint and minimize dependencies.
