Using the corporate emails is foolhardy. You will be periodically locked out until you link your phone to your account. If you lose your phone, you lose access to your email, the moment you need your email more than any.
This is unacceptable, even without considering how they steal our information.
Yeah I’ve changed my main email a few times, and had a few issues years later trying to get to an account I no longer had the email for. Ended up having to buy the domain after someone was sitting on it to be able to recreate an old email and get access.
Using a password manager now makes it a lot easier to keep track of stuff though being able to search logins

Is this the kind of thing you thought about at 12 years old, signing up for your first personal email account?
No but continuing to use it into adulthood I guess
The issue is that there can be a huge amount of friction to changing your email address when you’ve been using it for a long time.
That, and most people don’t give a shit about their privacy.
