Just an aside, but it may help others who have this issue to share the solution that worked for you

Ah yeah, that is sadly true. Too much lobbying and corruption for this to work the way it’s supposed to.

Encapsulated in that “etc.” in my first response is “going out of business”. This type of response would be way too difficult to get actual numbers for, but it has worked countless times. Just look at all the businesses that are no longer in business at all, they went out of business because they were no longer earning enough to stay viable.

It doesn’t matter if the company connects the loss to a specific action (although it would be nice) since the end result is the same, after enough time.

Lastly, I just don’t like the idea of my dollars being used by a company to further an agenda that I don’t want to support.

I would argue this is actually one of the most effective ways to respond. If enough people do it then the company has to react somehow (by pivoting, etc.). Obviously an organized effort would be better, but the “vote with your money” method isn’t anything to ridicule.

Bold of you to assume my email app has push notifications

Originally governments wanted backdoors into encryption protocols, but now they seem to want client side scanning (i.e. scanning messages on your phone before it’s encrypted and sent out)

Just an open source frontend for Shazam, but Audire is pretty nice for this

Nope, no way to do this. It’s not implemented yet. What you could use instead is the app called Shelter to create and manage a work profile. It’s less separated than another Graphene profile, but is much more convenient

Although I agree with you, I don’t think that’s what OP was asking about based on this part:

I’m just thinking that if a hacker got access to one email they’d have all account information?

It seems they are asking if an separate email account for each service would be beneficial. My opinion is it would limit the attack if an email account was hacked, but definitely not worth the hassle. Email aliasing (like the comment above me says) gives you some of the benefits without needing to juggle multiple accounts.

Not commenting on the content, but you should not dismiss an argument because it contains a slippery slope. A slippery slope fallacy is an informal fallacy, meaning it’s existence does not inherently mean an argument is flawed.
