In reality, the vast majority of email users don’t pick a server, they pick a service/brand.

Gmail, Outlook, iCloud… nobody picked a server.

And certainly there was no concern that if I pick the “wrong” one, I may not be able to receive email from one of the other big providers.

Oh, there certainly was no concern I might end on a email server with an ideology I don’t agree with.
