If email was invented now, it'd be something like:

WeMailâ„¢ by Meta

and be totally walled. You're either on it or not and if you're not, no email addy for you! You just have zero email service.

IRL, people understand that you can have email provided by Gmail or Microsoft or Apple. Many servers! That doesn't hurt their brains.

The fact that so many think Mast is "complicated" is not because they're stupid but because walled-gardens have ruled for the last 15+ years.

Time to change that.

@Jyoti Well, good luck trying to reliably send emails to recipients who use some email service from Microsoft. Randomly not getting emails delivered, nor being marked/declined as spam and nothing in logs, thats something to be expected with Microsoft's email services.

Ah, I've never used MS for email so I didn't know it was this bad. Ta!
