But in short, today it's just a matter of money and time to have your

I tend to concur. I run just fine for several years now my own
SMTP/IMAP servers + Let's Encrypt certificate on a cheap VPS
(< $20/year).
It took some work to set it up, but that's it. Surely not a mass
solution, yet feasible and stable.
Same here.
I had a stable email address for decades from an early ISP. Even after
switching ISPs I kept the account there for the address, which had been
advertised as an address-for-life. ~$3 every few months. They got
bought, but the service was maintained. Then they got bought by a giant
Oz telco who decided to drop it.
That drove me to run a VM for my current domain.
I spent months during the transition finding the lists and sites and
updating things. I hope to never have to do that again.
Messages sent to Google accounts tick all green boxes.
Hah! Google seem to have a special filter for me; most email I send
directly to a GMail account lands in that user's spam folder, even if
they mark them as nonspam. It is not clear why. I did once maintain an
adzapper :-(
Only Microsoft (outlook.com, hotmail.com) seem to filter the whole IP
block, but I am too lazy to ask the provider to fix or change provider
altogether.
I've been bitten by that kind of thing sometimes. I usually just run
email for those domains via my ISP's SMTP service instead of the VM's
SMTP service.
