Have google given any insight at all as to what will happen to users purchases and so forth? Is it fair to assume that we either pay up or lose access to that which was purchased?

In addition does this mean @gmail.com users should consider whether or not they could be subject to the same unexpected alteration regarding their own accounts?

Based on comments on other threads it looks like just the email will be affected and users won't lose access to the account and purchases.

It's pretty bad messaging that Google didn't spell out that out or anything else with what happens if you don't want to upgrade to paid G Suite on the linked page. The only thing they have is a link to takeout which implies to me that everything will be wiped if you don't upgrade. I'm always shocked at how badly they fumble consumer messaging.
