Not to mention email isn't particularly distributed these days. I don't know the exact percentage, by yahoo, gmail, and microsoft definite host a large majority of the email accounts on the planet.

Anyone can register a domain, stand up a server, and start receiving email on it. Sending it a bit trickier as to get past spam filters there's a bit more to it (DKIM, SPF, static IP, etc) but it's still doable.

I do it, but do see regular complains that others try and fail. The main problem is getting black holed by the popular email providers.
