I have close to 15 years of emails stored in Gmail.

Is there an easy way to download that or move it to another provider?

Yes, you can easily import it to Fastmail.

You can set up pop3 access[0] to your gmail account, download your emails (with any of a variety of clients[1]) and have the client delete them from your google account.

I'm sure there are other ways to do so as well.

Gmail still offers IMAP, right? Use your favorite mail client (if you don't have one, Thunderbird is FLOSS and pretty good) that has an archiving feature.

They have a service called Takeout which will generate mbox file of your Gmail account. You can then import to Thunderbird or elsewhere to do as you like.
