It's good to see my paranoia about depending on a single cloud provider is not entirely misplaced. Losing access to my Google account because of some virtually unaccountable automated process would suck but at least I do frequently export my contacts, email, drive, etc and back that data up to other providers.
The driving force for my mistrust of depending on one cloud provider for everything was getting burned by a hosted email service that I used for everything. Since I didn't control the domain I had no recourse. Taking the lesson learned, I moved to a privately owned domain for my critical stuff and now I can instantly point to another provider (or my own server) of choice.
