With email you absolutely want an address with a domain that you own. You can use it with pretty much any email hosting provider, and in case you get banned, you can point your DNS to another provider and continue with your day.
If Google banned my account, my phone would probably be useless, but other than that I wouldn't have any negative consequences. If Facebook banned my account, I wouldn't care at all (I spend less than 5 min per month on there). If Amazon banned my account, same thing (stripped DRM from all ebooks I've purchased there). Microsoft, same (losing my GitHub account would be a bummer, but wouldn't impact my work which is on GitLab). And as far as Apple goes, the only product of theirs I've ever owned was a USB Type C cable.
Of course, getting to that point wasn't easy and required years of conscious effort to make my data independent: https://input.sh/healthy-relationship-with-google/ https://input.sh/healthy-relationship-with-google/
