This has been a legacy feature for quite some time. Honestly, if it was just about email I think there would be nothing wrong with it. The main problem is that it's THE Google account for some people, which includes all their purchases and data and there's no way to move it.

Using G-Suite as your personal email has always been hell anyway.

In these comments (on HN), I've seen claims that we'll still be able to login to Google with our old accounts, like how it's possible to have a Google account with an @yahoo login.

I've also seen people disputing that, though.

I've not had "hell"-level problems. It's all been working pretty well for me.

It started out really simple, and good. Then as google added other features, new products, acquired companies, it's gotten harder and harder.
