The big tragedy there is the loss for the visually impaired. They can switch to a new email provider, but they will have to switch over any necessary emails such as subscription reminders and they will have to be able to download or transfer what might be a decade's worth of archived emails. That will likely be beyond some of them in terms of technical capability and possibly accessibility.

But then Google couldn't give two shits about the disabled.
