You end up with a fragmented and awkward experience.
Not only are you likely to pay double for some things, there just awkwardness...
I.e. if you use Google Play Music in chrome on a desktop, it defaults to the first account you signed in with... Likely the hosted one. So then you have to change it, which means a ui dance and multiple sign-ins before you can press play on what you last listened to.
If you sign in first with gmail, then other services default to the first account and you get the dance accessing other stuff.
Not to mention multiple invoices, your card in a few places.
Or that my android TV uses my hosted account and has subscriptions, TV and film rights... And I'd lose that stuff, or if I keep using the hosted on that I'd not have integrated access to play as that would be on a different account.
My photos are on my hosted account too... We have a family tablet device, what account should be used for that? I'm using sync permissions currently to restrict it to media and not email.
Basically, by not supporting products on Google Hosted domains, lots of very shitty user experiences emerge.
For those on Google Hosted, the best experience open to us is to stay fully in one world.
