I've been doing the same for so long I can't even remember when I started. Yes, I do get spam to some of those emails, and yes, it is nice to block them. That said, the thing that's kept me doing this so long is this: on two occasions, an address given to a financial institution started getting spam - clearly they were hacked or had an internal user selling emails (I remember when that was worth good money - I doubt it is anymore). It was an early warning for me to change my password at that bank (this was pre-2fa), so the practice has kinda stuck with me.
