So big tech or not, Gmail is a very solid provider in my opinion.

^^This^^ Never a major problem in almost 20 years of using the same address. Best spam control in the business. My main complaint is their absolutely Byzantine security options and actions in practice. For example, yes they offer the ability to use a security key like the Yubikey, but they require you to also have a phone number and recovery email, as well as backup codes. And, in practice, I have found they often resort to sending an SMS to your account phone, regardless of what settings you have. I have also encountered times when they only offer one possible 2FA option, and if you click "try another way" they don't let you try another way. I almost lost access once when they would only send codes to an old phone number I no longer had access to and had previously been removed from my account.
