> The issue is that Google is dropping all other functionality associated with the accounts, particularly purchases made using these accounts,

FWIW, the small handful of people I've mentioned this to are indeed more concerned about their purchases and SSO than their email.

It seems takeout is acceptable enough to assuade any email concerns, in their cases.

Purchases and SSO aren't going away (it sounds like what is happening is that the grandfathered free GSuite accounts are transitioning to Google Cloud Identity Free, which is basically GSuite minus the core GSuite apps.)

Well if they'd bother to read then they'd know they lose neither their purchases or SSO.

No, the problem is that the Google Docs say one thing (that purchases will not be lost) and people who have actually relied on the support documentation have found it not to match realty (i.e,. purchases were lost).
