No, because you didn't invalidate the cases for which it is used. People should continue using the feature if it meets their needs.

You also didn't address spam and security issues if someone is able to endlessly produce anonymous email addresses and send unprompted emails. This is almost certainly why Apple wouldn't implement this feature as you want.

Ignoring all your distractions and deflections aside, you don't call a car a car if it refuses to let you drive it. You try to find the clutch, its not there, there is not gear box, no accelerator, no brakes and you are on the seat and yell how the hell do I drive this thing?

And the thing talks back to you, hello Bob, please tell me where do you want to go?

Now you are not mad at it. You will happily tell it to take you to the nearest AMC to catch your film. Because its a robotic, self driving car. No car salesman is selling you a futuristic self driving car by calling it a car.

Apple clearly sold this feature by saying its creating a unique email addresses for every use. Email addresses allow you to send and receive emails. You can't do that, you don't call it that, you call it something else. Simple.
