I did the same after I wanted to play around with an old Pixel phone and install a different OS on it. I realized I wasn't doing it because I was terrified of Google shutting down my account. I had email, photos, contacts, calendars, even TV and cell service with them that could be taken away at a moment's notice. That's just way too much in the hands of a highly automated company.

Now it's down to YouTube, and if Google wants to shut that down, I can live with it.
