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

Which was my point (and was in response as an addition to theducks' observation in his last sentence). Also, employees of some (most, all?) of those companies are required to use their "company" email address in work related email. So even if your email provider is completely google and microsoft free you might be exchanging a lot of email with them and not even know it. (I am not advocating throwing in the towel and getting an account with them.)
