Let me give you a real example from a real person that I name him
Bob. Bob hasn't published any email address on his personal website
but he used a form so that others can send me email only via form.
The spammer also tried to send hiim message via this form in a hope
that they can receive an answer so that they can have his email
address. But Bob also used other approaches such as captcha.

After that, he no longer received any spamming email because it was
too efforts for spammer to check the captcha and take more of their
time.

He will also receive no mail from me, because i prefer to mail from my
own mail user agent, and not from webforms with a captcha, which have
their own set of privacy concerns in common implementations, not to
mention UI/UX issues. :P

Plus, how does Bob reply to any of his mail?  Does his reply use an
e-mail address?  What stops one recipient from publishing his e-mail
address?

But this all seems like quite a digression: how is this an argument
about which form to use for publication of the OPENPGPKEY record?
