A lot of these will be used by businesses on paid GSuite accounts where the monetization of user data doesn't happen:

I think $5/mo per person in exchange for some degree of privacy and being the customer instead of the product is a reasonable deal. $10 for unlimited storage.

In addition that price gets you 24/7 live support from a real person.

I'm not suggesting this answers the general privacy concerns and other issues presented here.

YET.

GMail also launched without ads and datamining.

Google retroactively added it, without opt-in, and mined all your data later anyway.

If Google can physically access something, you have to assume they will data mine and publish it at some point.
