Lots of websites reject email addresses at entirely valid domain names as invalid, too, such as any at some of the new TLDs like .email.

Yep. One of our salespeople had a fit because a prospect couldn't get emails from him. The return message said "we do not accept email from the .io top level domain".
So many websites provide some TLD validation but don't keep it up to date. Using .xyz is an exercise in frustration.
I'm a little more inclined to forgive that, but dashes in the domain have been valid for decades.
Since the start, even.

bell-atl.com is one of the oldest domains still in use, registered in 1986.
