I have completely stopped using google services and software on my personal devices (even have lineageos + microg on my phone. The problem is that I can't just explain to the technically uneducated people that I changed mail providers. How should I go about doing this?

I would look at my list of accounts stored on my keepass folders, and start migrating the accounts, one by one, to a new email account. Some of them might allow changing the email, some might require creating a new account.

My email provider shut down, so I had to migrate off of it. Every account I had allowed changing emails, although I had to contact customer support about some.

Oh, you reminded me of that. Thankfully that isn't that important for me.
