I'm usually sympathetic with businesses who failed to appreciate how much power very few power users really have, but this is Google we're talking about. Their sales and legal department is larger than 90% of tech companies. This was their mistake and their mistake only.
Let's assume it's AWS storage. After you stop paying (renewing) would you still expect to keep your data forever free of cost?
The difference here is that Google was the one who fired him as a customer, and did so on a timeframe tight enough to make it functionally impossible to actually get all his data back.
around the same time the FBI raided him. I imagine he was quite busy as is.
And there's a difference between "he should have seen this coming" and "he should have seen his data being deleted coming a week after the grace period with no wrning until the week before."
Things are free when people don't abuse it. Just be normal. Jesus.
Well, no, things are free until they stop being free.
Who gets to decide what "normal" means.
Why do you want everything to be financialized? The world works better when people can use small conveniences non-abusively.
OK

OK
Did you just not want to address anything in the comment you replied to?
Every unlimited plan simply means, "we won't tell you the limits."
Go to the Internet Archive and look at the Workspace pricing page of two years ago. They put it front and center that you would get "as much storage as you need". They also made you go through sales, so if they only intended to sell the product to people buying hundreds of seats, that would have been totally possible. They didn't.
Would they be reasonable to kick you after eating 5 pounds?
In that case they would be indisputably unreasonable, in its dictionary definition of “having no basis in reason or fact”, where reason and fact are that they offered unlimited — not 5 pounds — but unlimited fries with any hamburger.
