I believe that the June 2020/February 2021 timeframes for google
turning off LSA access (only) applies to G Suite accounts - not
general user access to gmail and other google services:

not that one shouldn't be getting prepared for them to implement this
across the board.
I asked their g-suite support about that. They sent me
the same link.
They told me for g-suite users. less sure apps it is
going away.
For regular users, they "equivocated". I could not pin
them down on the Chat session, so I gave up. So they have
something going on they don't want to talk about for
regular users.
I do know they have been sending out "security checkup"
eMails that trick users into turning off Less Secure Apps.
I have to turn them back on and tell the user to ignore
that eMail.
