I'm gonna go full nerd and stick to using @mac.com just to show how long I've been using Apple for 🤓
Well, I was using a couple of web-based e-mail accounts when Apple came out with Mail. I still have one of them, and it's an @netscape.net address. I've never seen another one in my Inbox. I transitioned to @iCloud.com when the host of the second of my two accounts went bust.
 
I use iCloud regularly but it doesn’t always play nicely with other clients.

When I used android (unfortunately) it didn’t always play nice.

I haven’t tried it on windows 11/outlook.

You are 100% correct. I did forget about that one; BUT in my defense, I’m pretty sure that the @mac.com days were pre-MobileMe and Ran completely on the pre-cloud architecture.
