Can someone provide examples of temp mail abuse that makes this necessary? I sometimes use these service to avoid being subscribed to ceaseless email marketing rings or get at information (in my opinion) needlessly siloed in things like forums.

Seems also like a user-hostile escalation in this kind of arms race that will eventually be overcome anyway.

The only example I can think of is when using temp-mail for serious stuff.

E.g. you register an actual account with temp-mail, this makes anybody able to reset the password.

I totally agree though that this service is user-hostile.
