Yep. I’ve been trying to delete my @mac.com ID for years, for various reasons this is impossible (2FA, unreleased apps, etc.).
It’s one of the special ones where you can’t change the email address you use to sign in with, you have to use @mac.com.
Annoyed me enough that I burned 15 years of purchases and other history to start again from scratch on a new ID I control completely.
But I can’t get rid of the old one, and it has some link to my phone number due to it using 2FA which cannot be removed, since 2FA is a one way trip. Which confuses the hell out of the Apple Watch (No one can add me for activity sharing since I switched to the new Apple ID).
And yes, every device under my control has been wiped and reset without a restore, no go.

It’s one of the special ones where you can’t change the email address you use to sign in with, you have to use @mac.com. This is no longer true. I was able to change the primary email address on my @mac.com account to my personal domain. I did this maybe a year ago. The @mac.com address is still associated as an alias I can’t delete but it’s no longer the primary address.
