      The issue is that there can be a huge amount of friction to changing your email address when you’ve been using it for a long time.

      That, and most people don’t give a shit about their privacy.

        Yeah I’ve changed my main email a few times, and had a few issues years later trying to get to an account I no longer had the email for. Ended up having to buy the domain after someone was sitting on it to be able to recreate an old email and get access.

        Using a password manager now makes it a lot easier to keep track of stuff though being able to search logins
