I don’t find this applies. I have an email account and chat app for work. I’m using a 4 year old phone. It’s not slow.
Also having stuff consime your disk doesn’t really slow it down.

You can still find the apk online atleast until Google kills android soon with their ban on user installable software outside of the play store.
