then your web site gets down-rated because you're not using one of the three or four "official" sites, and normie brains explode when they see an email address that isn't @gmail.com
Just try running your own mail server. You can forget about sending outbound, everything assumes you must be spam and silently drops your mail, even if you send it through your ISP outbound, and there is an ever increasing amount of paranoid "standards" you have to deal with that is fine when you have a million users, but a pain in the ass solo unless it's your primary hobby. Like the "lets encrypt" bullshit where they've been pushing to drive the certificate expire time to just over a month, so you have to do something to make https work without web browsers shrieking at users, even if that is to set up a script. (but I'm more mad that https started out with requiring certs before you can have any encryption at all)
Note that most of my remaining inbound email spam (mostly "we renewed your nerd squad" phishing) comes from burner gmail accounts, and G doesn't give a fuck. Most of the time when I receive spam, I simply notice that it's from a random turd world source that I should never see email from, and block the whole /16 in my mail config. And if it comes from a place like Mailgun where it's their main fucking business, they will be happy to stamp it out when you report it.
