I still have a quite short firstname@gmail.com address, and those emails were unbearable about 10 years ago. Several times, the only alternative was resetting the the password and taking over "someone else's" account to then change the email to a disposable provider like Mailinator.
Hostile? A bit, but after contacting services and complaining, nothing would get done anyway.
I ended up changing email providers because of that.
