It seems to me that fewer and fewer websites actually bother to block these domains.

Even if you go through all that extra trouble to maintain a list of banned domains, the user can still just whip out a Hide-My-Email address ending in @icloud.com.

They could end in @privaterelay.appleid.com which is... easy to block.

I don't think sites have problem with alias emails like iCloud Hide My Email. The issue is when they are used for creating spam accounts.

Do any HN commenters here know of any maintained lists of throwaway email domains?

In my experience this seems to be true. For a while it seemed throw away emails were pointless to try and they would all be blocked. But over the past couple years I’ve had a lot of success using mailinator, which is probably one of the better known services which has been around for a long time.
