whats the point of unlimited storage if stuff that needs it – gets deleted anyways?

mega-silos have 3 major points: reliability, convenience, and network effect.

get 2 of them, add privacy – and its a viable alternative.

IMHO people don't need most of old attachments, and it creates possibility for ADs-based service.

I disagree completely on this. People get bank statements, investment transaction statements and other important information as attachments, and they may need to get those years later from emails (it may not be easy to get from the original source and they may have lost their local copies).

Like it or not, e-mail is a document storage medium for most people.
