Fantastic comment. Thankfully I don't have an Apps account so this isn't really a concern for me, but it's almost scary to see the list you provided, it made me realize just how truly entrenched I am to Google's ecosystem. I use almost every feature you listed. At a certain point moving away from Google's ecosystem just because unfeasible because you come to rely so heavily on certain products in your day-to-day life.

It was only after I wrote it that it dawned on me that I use my Google Account for authentication with a number of third parties.

About 90% of things I use email + password (and 2FA where available), but that last 10% is a mix of Google authenticated, or Twitter authenticated.

Because Google Accounts are an identity provider, even if I wanted to move I really have no way to do that now.
