What assurances do you have that those paid services are actually respecting your privacy? It wasn’t that long ago that we found out that telecom companies were selling fine location data of all their paying customers.
The reality is that irresponsibility and disrespect for users are rampant in the tech world. That’s entirely companies’ doing.

If you use a free service, you basically have assurances that they're not respecting your privacy. The probability of a paid service respecting your privacy is greater than zero, at least.
Also, not all paid services are created equal. You still have to do more due diligence past just throwing money at someone who'll take it.
Move to Fastmail if that's what your after. You are using a free service, because you are the product. That's not about respect, it's about your (lack) of understanding of the business relationship you entered. If you aren't comfortable with that, you're going to have to pay actual money.
