Well, I would say that any need to communicate with Google users from
outside
Google will infuriate the random user.

It's not accurate or useful to view this as just a Google problem. It's
a collective problem of Google, Microsoft, Oath, and a small crowd of
smaller regionally/nationally prominent mailbox providers, acting
accidentally as a sort of collective. They do what works for them and
their *paying* customers, who may have no connection to their mailbox
users. They manage to support insane scales only through automated
monitoring, meaning that they can't even see any problem limited to any
one mail operator too small to be in that club of giants. They can't
even see some problems that may affect significant quantities of mail
via a myriad of tiny sites. They are not actively hostile to those of us
in the world of <20k-user operations, they just can't see us in the
'noise' under the massive signals they get in their exchange of traffic
amongst themselves, handling the predominantly legitimate traffic of big
non-mailbox senders like ESPs and e-commerce operations, and
withstanding insane volumes of garbage from the ever-changing sea of
gutter-grade spam sources.
