Just to answer the “why?” question and offer one data point, as someone with a university gmail account that I obviously can’t change myself this is a welcome update.
I kind of prefer the separation at the moment but it’s good to know I can simplify things in the future if I choose to.
If you are a student then have fun, if you are an employee please be aware that combining your work and personal accounts in this way may be a violation of your local data protection laws. In the US that would be a FERPA violation and if you happen to work at a medical school a possible HIPAA violation.

Good to know, I haven’t done anything yet of course but will look at the relevant regulations at some point. Thanks!
Just because you are a student, doesn’t mean you do not violate the terms and conditions by doing that too.
