That's not true. When you use Gmail you don't opt-in to a setting to "automatically send smaller non-commercial providers to the SPAM folder". Gmail is pretty bad at SPAM handling you still receive lots of commercial advertisement from "reputable" sources, you just don't see the non-scammy non-phishy email you were expecting.
In this specific instance, Gmail is not the worst out there. They're very protective but from what i heard you can get allowlisted in a matter of weeks of harassing their tech support. Meanwhile, Microsoft is a lost cause if you want to get your mail through to an Outlook mailbox...
