However, in practice one needs an email address to do any legitimate use of

There isn't any technical reason why MUA software can't do its own
delivery with today's technology. The whole concept of "outbound MTA"
seems like a throwback. With the exception of delivery delays, but
having a MUA attempt its own delivery and then switch to the smarthost
on connection or other temporary failure wouldn't require any
inspiration.
As if web-service MUAs are going to fade away, which is doubtful.
