Someone using a disposable address probably does not even care about your "need". Why block them?

Why allow them if you think they probably are more trouble than they are worth? (no way to contact them if there are payment issues, easier to take-over accounts, ...)

IMHO it really depends on the kind of service if this makes sense or not.

Totally depends but in the majority of cases I see no issues. Why do you assume they are up to cause trouble? I used throw-away mails hundreds of times and the only thing I usually did was inflate their user table with another single time visitor.

Agree, they will go to the competitor instead.
