> The loss of Youtube purchases; android play purchases, etc. is going to hurt.

If you migrate to a different email provider, you won't lose access to any of your purchases.

Do you have a definitive source form Google on that? There seem to be conflicting messages from Google. (Not helped by the "may" wording on this page: https://apps.google.com/supportwidget/articlehome?article_ur... )

Yes, the official FAQ has been updated with the following:

"What happens to my additional Google services and paid content if I don’t want to pay for Google Workspace premium features?

If you don’t upgrade to a Google Workspace subscription, you will not lose access to other Google Services, including YouTube, Google Photos, and Google Play, nor paid content, including YouTube and Play Store purchases."
