Poste.io – Complete Mail Server

Some big mail carriers who are more FOSS-friendly should create a service where they will deliver your private mail-server mail to Google and Microsoft inboxes for you. So you can use your own mail server for every other mailbox with more reasonable filtering protocols, and when you have to send mail to a Microsoft inbox you just send it to them and they’ll forward it.

They could also provide Cloudflare-like spam and DDoS protection for receiving mail

You would still deal with the deliverability challenges of getting your private email server trusted by everyone. It will work 95% but there are a bunch of weird edge cases due to old IP blacklists, bad spam rules, etc that will cause you problems and basically require a greybeard email expert to diagnose and fix. Sadly, I think it's just too hard to run your own email server these days.
