I received this same email.

But on the pichlo made;

I recently posted something about why people will tend to not switch between Android/iOS, they've already spent a lot of money toward whatever platform they use, and there isn't a way like in the olden days of computers, where if you had an Atari ST or Commodore Amiga you could sell the computer with the software library. And you can't exactly sell your gmail account (tied to your android device where anything you buy on the Play Store is).

He totally didn't comprehend what I was saying and went off on some tangent about how you can't sell your gmail account and that google already makes money off of your email and that's what is being purchased... talk about missing the point ha ha.

But yes, I don't know why people use gmail, especially for non-personal things.
