1) Apologies

2) The article isn't about Gmail, it's about an entire Google account where the author stated they ARE paying for extra storage for Gmail and Drive -- where you seemed to imply they're not paying. And buying your own domain does nothing for getting access back to your 10,000's of past e-mails or your 100's of GB's of files you're paying to store.

Now if only Google had a way to “take out” your data and made it trivial to have backups for emergencies.

Of course you have to back them up yourself. But that's true for any service.
