For timely receipt of business-critical emails, don’t use a free consumer-grade email account.

I agree with you. I posted something similar on LinkedIn about a year ago, and I learned from the replies there that in many places around the world, having a Gmail address for your business is so normal no one thinks anything of it. But I'm guessing for the most part those are less developed countries and places with a lot of solopreneurs.
@paxterrarum if one cannot afford $5 a month for an email host, one should not be in business. Just my opinion.
@paxterrarum I also expect company's I do business with to not sell my info. That does not happen with free email.
@paxterrarum I don't think I would do business with any company using free mail. Not a good look.
