That's because the last decade of improvements at GSuite aren't for you. They're to satisfy made up requirements by Government and Enterprise IT departments, with the rest of the energy sucked out by European Regulations. Data location and retention policies, privacy, logging, data export, legal, etc etc.

Meanwhile Microsoft had managed to include all those requirements and actually push on capability.

Everything you mentioned has nothing to do with UI/UX.

I believe that is the point. Google isn't updating for UI/UX reasons.

That's clearly not true considering the navigation changes they've made to core products like Gmail and Maps.

What do any of those have to do with the worsening UI of their products? I don't recall seeing a button in Maps allowing me to download my browsing history.

The GDPR didn't require Gmail to become slow, or Google to provide multiple confusingly competing video call products.

Ahh the good old days of when I was recommended Allo, Duo and Hangouts by the Playstore.

GDPR also can't be implemented in the UI layer, because it would also apply to the IMAP/Gmail API, which doesn't suck... at least from a user perspective. Gmail is just fine in a real email client.
