You end up in spam with Gmail if you haven’t got your email hygiene in order. I’ve sent messages from cold Hetzner IPs and a cold domain name and managed to deliver to Gmail inboxes by having SPF, DKIM and DMARC correctly configured. It really is that simple. Same goes for Microsoft. Follow the standards, avoid spammy looking words, avoid sending empty messages and you’ll be fine.

Emails that I want from non-gmail senders end up in spam. Sometimes fake Amazon emails from random gmails end up in my main inbox. Google passing responsibility for their own bad algorithms onto users is a consequence of their monopoly status.
