Not really. Privacy? Considering the insane amount everyone puts on social media, what privacy is there? Plus anything other self hosted = someone has your data.
Market diversity? Idk what that one means precisely. GW not Gmail. So not free. 144% for 1000% more services than mere email host. So nope, don't understand even slightly why rational ppl would not choose GW in this scenario. But I appreciate the effort regardless.
