You were always able to reserve a normal icloud email address just like you would a GMail account, so banning all icloud email addresses would be banning non-alias Apple customers
That being said, I'm not convinced anyone who wanted to ban aliases couldn't have already. The alias emails look weird enough I'm guessing you could ban them with few false positives.

Some can be just word + number + word without dots or underscores. Also blanket banning whole domains is just much easier and already done for temporary emails. No false positives.
- BoorishBears 4mo agoThe point of the article is previously banning Apple's temp domain would create many false positives (all the normal Apple registered emails that chose @icloud.com during setup)
