Another reason to use expendable email addresses for everything

I use SimpleLogin aliases via my Proton subscription. But I'm terrified of what happens if I lose access to my Proton account, either because I get banned or the company disappears into a black hole. It would be a personal disaster to lose access to hundreds of accounts.

I could buy my own domains and have them forward to Proton but then they aren't disposable, unless I were to buy a domain for literally every account.

I'm in a similar boat with slightly different details, but I did get my own domain(s). To me this feels like another single point of failure. Now I'm not just worried about losing access to my email provider - I need to worry about the company managing my MX records too.
