On a quick read of this the move seems pretty to have a pretty considerable impact on me, while I appreciate the free service it sounds like it’s been a trap. I’ve had gsuite for a while, primarily using it to host a custom domain for email for my family. Effectively I view my use of these services as mostly a free (gmail) user, just with the added benefit of a custom domain. I’m not sure $6/month/user is really worth it just for a custom domain; but I don’t really think I have a choice as the accounts also represent google accounts with other services hanging off them (digital purchases, other subscriptions such as YouTube premium, additional storage, etc).

Either I need to continue to pay to not loose all the items I’ve accumulated in the google world on this account, or after this experience choose to migrate my whole family somewhere else and deal with whatever other complexities that means, but cement my final departure from Google’s products, including finding alternatives for the other products I currently subscribe for from Google
