What if i forget to delete some old accounts associated with the google email address? Will someone be able to take control of them? And my data will be there forever too.
What method do you use to find the old accounts to delete? Unfortunately i delete all emails after receiving them.
Look at /r/deGoogle and you will, sadly, see a lot of people that have a problem stopping.
A typical example is how services from Google, e.g Google Docs, Meet, etc do everything they can to avoid not logging in, and while having to do so, prefer to use a GMail acccount, or “at least” a Google account (which might not require a GMail email).
So… a drug no but a dependency hard to ignore for a lot of people, the same way some people feel “forced” to use WhatsApp.
You are extremely privileged if you never felt that way.
