I think some of them might be improvements, but moving from one commercial online service to another commercial online service isn't a big improvement. The best way to protect your privacy is to not spray your private information at commercial providers who can turn evil at any time.

IMO moving from Google to anything else is an improvement. Ideally sure you'd end up on non-commercial everything... But perfect is the enemy of good

I do agree with you, but I see this list as a first step for those who want to improve [but are not sure where to begin]. It provides easy alternatives to common uses. While some are commercial to commercial, they're spyware to nonspyware, which is a great Step 1.
