I can relate to the author. Software nowadays is developed as if telling the user, “We told you to use
$feature, and yet you’re too stupid to understand basic obedience, so we’ll smear$featureon your filthy face until you swallow it.” That includes all of Big Tech, and even software from some small/mid devs who ape Big Tech.Cue to how “not now” became the new “no”. Frankly, it makes me respect when a dev includes a “no, and don’t ask again” option.
Google is a privacy / data protection hellscape and, regardless of all this ruckus, it’s sensible to drop GMail to reduce the exposure as much as you can. Frankly I probably should do the same with my Yahoo account, even if it’s older than some adults so migration becomes hell annoying. Plus I got a Proton address already for some years.

The worst are the ones that have mailto links behind them so it opens your email app and creates a draft.

But yeah, this sort of trashy dev beelines towards mobile.
