Generally a good overview of the "vendor lock-in" issue, but one factor not mentioned is that despite all the effort at your end you have no control over emails you send back and forth with most of the world. It is just not possible for most of us to have most of our correspondents utilize an encrypted system, and therefore your emails are still being scanned by Google, Apple, Microsoft and whomever controls the email systems at the other end. Plus, whether you like it or not, the big players have far superior spam, phishing, and malware technology, along with dedicated IT teams protecting your accounts and systems from being blocked by things like DoS attacks. Don't confuse privacy and security.
