I don't understand why there are so many surprised people in this thread. They've been doing this for a pretty long time now. Yahoo has been doing it for even longer.

Unless this is just people being fake surprised as a joke?

Since it's inception in fact. That's what made it free to use.

That's why I use Gmail through the K-9 Mail app (When I have to).

But then you have to activate access to Less Secure Apps™. It's so disgusting.
