Ye, I'm finding that with Google. You don't realize how tightly locked in you are until you try to leave.

A counterpoint though, is that putting 12 eggs into different baskets means having to manage 12 baskets. It's a trade off

It is a trade off, but it's well worth it, since most of it requires no actual maintenance (after you migrate of course) unless you have to leave for some reason.
