While I doubt our say so will have much affect, Gmail hasn't scanned email for ads since 2017, and that was consumer, GSuite/Workspace/GAFYD/etc I think didn't have it ever, though there were versions of that (EDU and for ISPs) that may have (looks like EDU was disabled in 2014)

Automatically populating your calendar with airline reservations and the like? Anyways, I think FastMail is usually put in the next tier of providers. I know there are other small business ones like Zoho.
