But email addresses are not inextricably tied to a provider at all.
Mine - paul@linuxaudiosystems.com or paul@ardour.org - have no relationship to whoever handles my email.
The fact that everybody got conned/tricked/was too lazy to NOT use @gmail.com doesn't really change that fact.
By contrast, Mastodon handles are truly tied to a server.
As for sending email to the whole world, let me know how to toot to the whole world, I'd like know :)

They are for 99% of people on the planet :-) > As for sending email to the whole world, let me know how to toot to the whole world, I'd like know. You send a toot, and anyone in the world can see it. Sure, it doesn't show up in their inbox, but email doesn't have an equivalent.
