Not at all. That's my point. And it seemed to be
what Brick was expressing. If you pay for it it's real email. If you use
gmail then it's their email. As your email address here demonstrates,
you don't care about Google storing and reading your private
correspondence. Many people don't. But that doesn't mean real email is a
thing of the past.

It's also a good way to keep your real email inbox from being flooded from
100's of marketing junk emails. I don't want every business I order from
to have my real email address. I give them the throw away addresses.

I thought the concept of "real email" was commonly used.

I can already check my real email thru multiple devices, and thru an email
client, so I really see no use for gmail or hotmail other than tossing my
junk their way
