No reasonable person expects support for free, but relying heavily on a free service would be a lot less scary if there was an option to get customer support for $100, refundable if they can't solve your problem. At the moment there doesn't seem to be a middle ground between 'behave like a company and open a commercial account before you know there's going to be a problem' and 'if a problem does arise there's nothing you can do for any price'.

Iirc you are able to get priority support for resetting a Google password if you pay.

That would certainly be good news! I don't suppose you remember any references to how?

I can't find it now, but I seem to remember seeing some option to pay for priority in the account recovery options when resetting one of my accounts in the past.You could always try it on one of your accounts and see.
