DeGoogling myself was pretty eye opening. I counted on their services for so many things, that it took me about a year to complete. I would not have enjoyed having to do that overnight.

And if it had happened abruptly, I would have lost access to quite a bit of content I've "purchased" (purchased unlimited licenses to) over the years, and tied to my Google account.
