That would be a great solution. I would imagine many "legacy free" users are old GMail for Domains users who just want the same Google One functionality of @gmail.com addresses but with a custom domain.

I don't even use my domain name for anything but email anymore, but I certainly don't want to give up the address I've been known by for a dozen years.
As you can imagine, my username @gmail.com gets too much spam to be usable.

Exactly! Or provide a migration path - I went back to a standard gmail account, but the vast majority of my purchases, photos etc are in my old GAFYD account.
Google are going to lose even more goodwill without a migration path.

Please do this Google.
This is what I'd imagine most of the people on Legacy Google Workspaces want.

That would be perfect for me!
Eg, Google One provides 100GB of storage (shareable with your family Google accounts) for £16/year. Just let those who want that to link it to custom domains — Apple (iCloud+) and MS (MS 365) already offer this.
