Yes absolutely this. I've put so much effort into making sure I tick all the boxes and yet I constantly wonder if my email is getting delivered. This feels anti competitive to me. It's Google constantly telling me, give up, you know deep down you should just use Gmail.

I think Gmail doesn’t want you to use their service for sending email; they want you to have to advertise ‘with’ them.

we switched email providers from our all-EU stack to gmail... just as a last desperate attempt at not being marked as spam for actually sending low volume (crazy, right).

well, now we're stuck with gmail for a year, and no, it haven't improved anything!
