They're just regex rules, and unfortunately, they strip them out for exactly the reasons you might guess.
As another commenter mentioned, company@domain.com is difficult for them to get around.
I will add that this tactic has caused additional friction or touches for things it shouldn't have¹, but has finally delivered the desired effect.
¹e.g. insurance offices calling to confirm my email address, customer service people curiously wondering aloud if I work for their company
- mitchellpkt 4y ago+1. To expand on your friction comment: I’ve been doing unique @myname.com for years and learned quickly to avoid putting the full company name to avoid confusion. Now, I just use the first 2 and last 2 letters, so for example hackernews would be haws@myname.com. When I go back later to log in, it is easy to re-derive on the spot. And if I forget what an email address corresponds to I can just search my inbox history for that address to find the site registration confirmation or whatever they sent previously.
