Well that's a fairly misleading comparison. Where is the screenshot for Outlook.com which has no ads either? Not to mention the fact that Gmail is valuable to Google because it gets people to sign in in all the browsers they use, allow

How much of Google's profit(or even revenue) is not from tracking user data and advertising? Search, Gmail, Android, Chromebooks, Nexus, Pixel, Youtube, Maps etc. everything is about selling advertisements after scanning user provided

Well, abusing their search dominance among other things like making ads indistinguishable from organic results and paid placement on verticals like shopping/hotels etc. was eventually going to pay out. More details on how Google manipu
