I forget, that conversation was a while ago, but what was the other motivation you proposed? I spoke of the attitude of senior political appointees in the bureaucracy, the pitiful state of its IT, and all the rules regarding procurement, hiring, and the like. It would be downright normal for people in such positions, busy and important and entitled as they are, to scoff at the crap tools available to them through normal channels and create their own workarounds. They chafe at the confinement and inconvenience. You see that behavior currently in matters of flying first class and buying fancy dining room tables. No one so important should have to use bureaucracy-grade tools and facilities. Or be disallowed from offering a job to a nephew, for that matter. A good example is Trump wanting to use his cell phone rather than the government issued one, which I recall was an issue right after the inauguration. Somehow he got to keep it. And she set up her own server. That attitude is so common that I consider it a plausible explanation for having one's own email setup.
