I get the need to make me pay for the services (and I'm happy to pay if it's worth it), but why the downgrading of services after paying for things. There are various little tick boxes in their comparison table where the "legacy" accounts have a feature that "basic" doesn't have, but are present in standard (I'm looking at you noise cancellation in google meet).
Also, why the heck hasn't google solved the "GSuite users can't use this service" problem yet? I've been on GSuite since the beginning, and now I actively avoid google services because I'm sure they won't work with my google account.
I'll most likely end up paying the fee, but why can't they just be a little nicer about it? Google Homespaces would be awesome, parental controls, mailboxes, custom domains, shared calendars, and I'd probably pay a pretty penny for it too.
