"Even if they are not linked, services can still share data" Isn't that the whole point!?

In theory, they can't share ad targeting data. That said, with the DMA they should not be able to share "data to effectively make you able to complete tasks", that's the point. Interoperability between Gmail and YouTube should equal the interoperability between Gmail and Peertube or somesuch.

Does that mean i can use a different email?

Protonmail for example

You can already use Protonmail for a Google account, It's what I do.
