What are you talking about? People constantly report their Google accounts being banned, very often for things they did in their emails. It seems impossible to me that you've never heard of someone being banned by Google because of something they sent with their Gmail account. Usually Google reports it as an unspecified ToS violation, but that doesn't mean it wasn't related to things they did in "private" correspondence via email.

> very often for things they did in their emails.

Do you have an example? I don’t recall ever seeing that. I’ve seen mostly for other services.

I believe it has been many years since any Google employee has looked into a Gmail accounts message contents without prior permission from the account holder.
