For sure. Their thinking is probably let's see how popular it is before offering custom domains which are typically for businesses (or techies). The problem with that is, that the techies are the ones they really need to target first, since if they get hooked and loved it, then consumers will follow. I started writing a tweet when I first saw this about the typo then realized they intentionally misspelled it, and sighed. Reminded me of the days of working for a company where they felt ever employee needed a special crazy title. Often clarity is best. Sometimes plays on words work, but in this case I feel it certainly doesn't.

Everyone should have a custom domain. Switching email providers is horrific without it.
