I basically agree, but I'd also say: Every Gmail user has already accepted such a promise as sufficient.

I wouldn't be surprised if Gmail data has far more access restrictions internally at Google than this auction bought dump.
But the Spirit customers may not have a Gmail or even a Google account? I personally don't.
Sure, a Spirit customer with no Gmail account can absolutely complain and/or be wary of this. I didn't mean what I wrote as a complete counterargument -- just trying to indicate the "scale" of the privacy issue here, which is that it's something that many people already tacitly accept.
Even those customers probably have something that's neither self-hosted nor privacy-focused. If it's not gmail, it's one of the counterparts.
