I'd be happy to pay for good private email service. But of course, Google doesn't offer it. Because offering that sort of option would be a much more obvious admission of how much they rifle through your data as an income source.
My issue is not that they offer a business relationship where they use your data for money, my issue is how shady they are about it.
Google has always been obvious about all their products and services being for selling more advertising.. They figured out how to make a great income from it, and nobody would pay for email at the cost it'd have to be to make the same as they do.
Remember, all the good stuff they do, all depends on revenue dollars coming in. And in the end, they're still a company looking to make a profit.
