I have completely stopped using google services and software on my personal devices (even have lineageos + microg on my phone. The problem is that I can't just explain to the technically uneducated people that I changed mail providers. How should I go about doing this?

Ok, that isn't a problem with family and friends, but for school or work, I would have to change my email on multiple services. Forwarding might work, but I couldn't ever cut gmail off completely.
