If Gmail proved anything, it was that people would, for the most part, accept any terms of service. Or at least not care enough to read the fine-print closely.

The problem is that if you run your own email server at home, you get blocked as a spammer these days. Today, to send emails you MUST use one of the big providers, or your email won’t get delivered half of the times. One has no alternative but to use these free services.
I run a couple small mailservers. It’s still possible.
Not if you set it up properly.
You can have your email hosted by Gmail or Outlook and still get flagged as spam if you don’t complete the exact same set up requirements. (SPF, DKIM, etc)
I have my own email server and they don’t block me AFAIK. I need to test more anyways
