I don't like it.

No public comment period on this?

The fact that they can cancel your license if the email is undeliverable is the worst aspect of this.

The public comment period was in 2019: https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-adopts-electronic-licensing...

When you register a domain name you have to provide an email and street address. Failure to respond to communication at either of these and you risk the loss of your domain.

Doesn’t the FCC put all licenses available online for free lookup? Domains can have privacy masking depending on the registrar.

I recall a retro tech YouTuber I follow getting a HAM radio license (or something) and he gave out his code. I looked it up, and lo and behold, there was his address.
