Ummm.. hate to play the devil's advocate here, I am sure you must have 2FA setup and all, but in the off chance that you loose access to your google account(for the sake of argument lets say for an "alleged" violation of ToS).

How do you plan to regain access?

I do think sometimes about moving to a google for business account, but the likelihood of losing access to a google account seems pretty low, all things considered. It's easy to forget that here on hacker news, certain probabilities, dangers, etc. are overstated by extremely tiny groups of outspoken people. E.g. based on the comments here you might imagine that most people are somewhat wary of big tech because of privacy concerns, when that's probably not even true of people browsing hacker news in general, let alone the general populace of the US or the world.
