HN – iCloud Mail or Gmail?

I know, it sounds stupid, but I recently bought an iPhone and I use Windows as the main OS (Linux as the second). I'm going crazy deciding because I've had Gmail for 5 years with over 20,000 emails and iCloud Mail with just 30. I'd like to switch from Gmail to iCloud, but I'm afraid that if I lose the iPhone and switch to Android it won't be the same anymore.

On the iPhone I also have ADP enabled, so this complicates both security and Apple account recovery. Personal use: I see everyone has iPhones but uses Gmail. Why? Gmail collects more data to profile you with advertising, Apple does not. I also have Tutanota and ProtonMail, but I would like to use iCloud Mail.

I use iCloud for Drive and stuff, but for email I only use Gmail (Apple Mail for Apple stuff only). For social media I use Gmail. I've been stuck for months, I don't know what to do, especially if I lose or break my iPhone, my only Apple device. and I can't buy another one, never lost or broken a phone in my life, I'm always attentive as if it were a child
