Which was my gripe with folk who use those apps and I did not agree to their TOU.
Look at how many small businesses have a Gmail address

That's why I would never agree to using one of these things. I know how these corporations work. You agree to the terms of usage (a contract) and they invariably change the terms midstream. At that point you have two choices. Your either agree to the changes in the contract, or you can quit using the product you paid for. That's it.
As for Gmail (and others) I'm slowly working my way out of them. Vivaldi has become my main email provider (though I don't know if they're any better or not). I've tried creating my own (personal) email address, but it's useless because you can't get off the SPAM lists.
