This shouldn't have been flagged.

While the specific way this was presented may be a little ascerbic, , the underlying complaint behind it is sound.

A large majority of the world is fine with their identity being e.g somename@gmail.com, but the more technical among us choose to explicitly own not just the first bit, but the second bit. E.g. myname@myname.com for sound reasons. The reality is that we don't always care where that resolves to (fastmail / protonmail / google domains), because the namespace is portable.
