I think Apple is doing the right thing. The error lays in the user, a) don't rememebr my security questions .... eh well... B) Apple provides ways to restore everything, two factor, email recovery etc etc, if you didn't take care of your own security for 7 years, what are you crying about? Sometimes I don't get users.

Don't blame the user for poor product decisions.

Yeah... because your email provider shuts down, and you keep using it for your apple account id, that is totally the fault of Apple.

Apple doesn't provide a way to transfer email account IDs.

.... I have done it, even I have transfered my account from one country to another, which many other services like Sony Play station forbid. So before saying something that is not true, double check.

That's not true, I done it two month ago.

But they know their username and password. Surely that should be enough. It's enough on any other day until your account is suddenly locked.
