I have dozens of domains under my control. Many for friends and family. Some of them are for babies that don't check their email very much yet.
The fact is that Google gave those accounts away and then did an opt-out cancel on them. They want to push people off their free service they offered to make them pay. This is something Microsoft or Yahoo would do, sure, but not the old Google.

Yup. Pretty lame. How much were my inactive accounts costing them?
You used the past tense. Does that mean you let the accounts be deleted, rather than spending 30 seconds per domain to log in?
