My oldest email in Gmail is from 1996.
My oldest file in Google Drive is from 1998.
All of which pre-date their current storage (and some of which pre-date the company that created the current storage).
None of which is as important as anything in a VCS in terms of wanting to keep history intact.
BTW: If any Google engineer is present: Gmail search over mail older than a decade is terrible. Just terrible.
