Storing email feels like a no-brainer for a system that needs to send messages to its customers. Some prefer phone numbers, which maybe provide stronger guarantees while being maybe not as long lasting.
As an individual, the issue is that "anon" or "throw-away" emails are not that commoditized.
I heard that "login with Apple" meant to provide an email proxy, hiding your real email, but I have not seen it deployed, except on Reddit. As good as it can be, it’s Apple only.
I can always wildcard on a domain I rent and use klingo@domain as a mean to compartment identifiers but it is not low maintenance.
I use wildcards and they're extremely low maintenance. Literally no maintenance required since I set them up.
Steps to reproduce:
1. register a domain name
2. register that domain with your email service provider of choice (I use Protonmail)
3. create an email address on that domain
4. set that address up as a catch-all address for the domain
5. profit
Lack for a better word I guess. This is what I do for myself and my So, but this isn’t a commodity accessible to anyone directly by their email provider.

Still, it feels better that "login with faang".
