Absolutely, it's gone from "maybe I should move somewhere" to working on untangling things because I know I have to move.
I do have a very old address that is on my own domain, and though that is currently routed to Google, at least that simplifies things a lot, but unfortunately for many years I was not consistently using that address for signing up to things etc.
I still have quite a few a accounts under Gmail, but I'll probably do a full change this year.
Having control of my email is very important for me. Google could close my account for any number of reasons (billing dispute, hacked account, etc), and I would lose my actual address since the domain isn't mine
