This is not true (anymore?). I have a rather unfortunate exact naming collision with a family member. They use the full name without dot for the local gmail component, I use a dot between the first and last name.

Two or three mails have been misplaced in a decade.

It is still the rules for Gmail (https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7436150?hl=en).

It would be feasible to change something like that without breaking security now.

Google can hardly start allowing/routing a new account for [email protected] when you were getting it for years even though your account is [email protected] and sensitive communication like say from your bank would routed there.
