Does using Apple Sign in not share your email address/identity?

It can, but half the point of the service is that your personal email address is kept private. The service sees an obfuscated email address for the format <unique-alphanumeric-string>@privaterelay.appleid.com. Eg [email protected].

I believe it generates a unique/obfuscated email address that is provided to the provider but their messages to that address arrive at your real icloud address. Edit0: reference https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210426
