I'm not knowledgeable enough to know what the ramifications of Alphabet's collapse would bring about. I can only imagine good things, though I know Firefox is propped up by them.

well for one, how are you going to recover accounts using your gmail if gmail simply doesn't exist anymore?

It wouldn't collapse per se. It would get sold to the next biggest bidder. You'd end up with the likes of Amazon, Microsoft or Musk or something.
