Slightly tangential but I'd sometimes wish for a 3rd party option for such accounts. You can have a gmail, an icloud mail or your own email domain as email is a (well?) defined standard.

Having such a standard would force accountability - not that I consider Apple's security poor, but rather that it could be better.
