I wouldn’t say it’s only useful for people without vanity domain names - it also adds a level anonymity should the user database get leaked (IE: it’ll be a random HME account that will look like every other, vs your specific domain name)

Also FWIW you can use it with custom domains - I use it with fastmail and have since day one (their version of it isn’t as tightly integrated as Apple but they offer this service as well). Hope this helps!

To confirm, you're saying that Apple will generate something like "randomString@yourDomainName.com"? If so, how can I set that up? I don't see any relevant settings on my phone's iCloud settings page.

That document says in roder to do that you need to migrate to using iCloud Mail - oh well.
