I have several free G-suite accounts that I use for various domains and services, including one I've used as my primary email for 10+ years. But over the last couple of years, it's become more annoying using the G-suite free accounts, as they aren't as full-featured as newer (paid) G-suite accounts or even free Google accounts. This announcement has finally given me the motivation to finally get rid of these accounts and move to a more modern solution. Unfortunately for Google, I've moved them to a paid M365 account since it has more features, is better specced (e.g. more storage), and is also cheaper.

Also - as others have mentioned here, I too haven't received an official notification from Google about the impending decommissioning. If they backtrack on this now, I'll still be off the Google platform and a couple steps closer to getting out of the Google ecosystem completely.

Same boat. I'm not mad. This is just the kick in the pants I needed. I already have a Mail-in-a-Box set up; now I have an unignorable reason to migrate everything.
M365 is what I am looking at, as well. Can you go into detail about the differences and what you found better with M365?
