I agree we need more regulation..

But are you sure about this problem? If you create Shared drives in a Google workspace, they take ownership of anything I move into it (after dismissing a warninge explaining what will happen), even if I take files in folders shared to me from someone else's gmail account

(The ownership model of drive was indeed terrible before they implemented the shared/team drives.)

Very interesting! Looks like we would need to upgrade our Workspace plan (and basically double our cost) to use this feature, which is not great, but it might be a solution.
