From what I've seen, the biggest issue here is that you cannot transfer purchased Google Play Store purchases. Even without the G Suite thing, this is a problem.

For example, I have a fairly unprofessional primary Google account that I created when I was young and dumb(er). I would like to transfer the hundreds of dollars in purchases I've made under that account to another, more appropriately named, account but it does not seem possible.

They could solve this part of the problem for the affected G Suite deprecated users as well as people in positions like me by having a way to do this.

My understanding now is that even if you let the forced Google Workspace account lapse, the underlying accounts will continue to function as Google Accounts. You will not have access to Email, Documents, Photos, Calendar, etc. but you will still be able to login to Google and use Play Store purchases.

Only until they are inevitably turned off down the road. Such legacy things never stick for too long.
