One reason why generating random email address for each registered account is a good practice if you care about security, and can sometimes save you.

This is why I love sign up with Apple. Even though developers don’t like it, it’s good for users privacy and security.
In theory, yes. But since it itself has had significant security flaws, since it's so difficult to log in without apple devices, and since you cant trust Apple to be neutral (they recently deleted all Sign-In-With-Apple Accounts from Epic, even though that has very little to do with their dispute and will hurt customers more than Epic), I'd rather reuse my email a couple of times than sell even more of my soul to this volatile company.
They didn't actually remove Epic's access. Epic just claimed that they would with no corroboration. https://www.imore.com/apple-reverses-course-will-still-allow...
