Because it's so hard to open a Gmail account? I think your thinking
here is about two generations out of date. Back in 1995 when we each
had our one dialup account, and webmail was much less common and
acceptable, your point would have been more valid.
C'mon ... my example contractor has printed collateral, web pages, etc.
all with his email address. Changing an email address is non-trivial for
folks who don't have any need to register their own domain name. Even
those who have a web serving domain often have no business need for
email.
I could use my yahoo or gmail account to send him email, but then I have
to deal with watching said account for responses. At best a frustrating
waste of time.
