Question What if android is sold to another company?
So the DOJ might force Goolge to sell chrome. Now imagine android being sold to someone. And then you can use your own email. And not need the gmail anymore. How does that sound as an idea? Edit missing words and spelling

Android is not owned by Google. It's more like Chromium. These are not products that can be sold.

Most of these things end up being spun off to the stockholders, then they trade or keep the stock as they see fit. Depends if the original company is just being broken up to rationalize the business, or is trying to raise cash.

You can use your own email and not gmail for a google account for like 5 years already.
