Check the below tweet that I had sent couple of years back (when I was on Twitter) to google (gmail), microsoft (outlook), yahoo (yahoomail); indirectly asking them NOT to delete emails related data, unless & until been explicitly requested by the User itself.
NOW, Google has announced that it will start deleting all inactive accounts, including emails, docs, attachments, messages, photo libraries, calendar events etc. My indirect specific request in the tweet was NOT to delete at least EMAILS & ITS ATTACHMENTS, DRAFTS, FOLDERS & anything related to Email content, even of the inactive, unresponsive accounts & until and unless the User itself explicitly ask for the deletion, because we live in a Digital Era and so much of data, from Intellectual Property related content to certain important Factual materials, are always stored in Emails, or as its Attachments, Drafts, as pre-post Covid, the World changed, and inclined more towards the beginning of the Digital Era.
If Google can't afford to store that much data, then that's a different thing, but, if it can afford, and the User has not requested explicitly to delete its data; then Google may be committing a huge mistake by deleting at least all the Email & its related data.
