For GMail? yes.

For YouTube I think it would be something like it will slowly turn into CNGooGSNBC and be heavily editorialized where you need to work with an AI assisted nebulous entity for weeks before you can upload content.

I agree with this. At some point YouTube could possibly only allow monetizable content, meaning anything that veers even slightly out of mainstream, or covers topics that advertisers don't want to associate with, will get deplatformed.
"UsTube" should be the new name.
GMail is their way to push Google accounts. Since that's extremely useful for tracking, I don't see it going away.
