The OP mentioned Google reading their email and does not mention the context of advertising you assumed. Another poster pointed out that Google no longer scans Gmail for advertising purposes anyways: https://variety.com/2017/digital/news/google-gmail-ads-email....

I understand what you are saying about all email getting "processed" however, Google is doing way more to process email than spam protection or else they would not need a massive agreement and a separate page listing subprocessors and further breaking those subprocessors down by region and noting whether they are internal or external to Google.

I think my point is simply agreeing that I think it is too bad Google does all this "processing" of user data and that GSuite offers some protection, but not enough.

The subprocessesors page lists Google subsidiaries, datacenter subcontractors, and customer support contractors.

None of those things are "external people we automatically share your email with". They're "Google" and the people who you'd ask for help when you call a customer service line.
