My Google Workspace account is my personal, single-user domain.
IMO, Google is still the best option. I like GMail (their spam filtering is nearly flawless), Google Drive and Docs is the right mix of working and complexity, Google Photos integrates well with what I use, etc.
It's basically Google One with the tradeoff of my rough edges in exchange for hosting my own final.
I've occasionally looked at switching away (to proton, MSFT, etc) and the most likely switch would be to a personal Google account.
I'm arguably "in too deep" because it'll soon be 20 years that I'm a google customer for that domain. At the time they were definitely the best option (I used to even self-host DNS for my domain on my home desktop).
In the corporate world, having faced a mix of options over my career, I still prefer the google stack (with the exception of google chat which I last used 3 years ago and wow was that bad at the time).
