Yeah, things requiring choosing a instance like, say, email, are doomed to fail
I’m guessing you meant this sarcastically, but you may have been right for the wrong reasons. Look at this graph, by the metric of the way the fediverse works that is a failure. Apple and Google are massively dominant because people don’t want to think about it and most just go with their phone os maker who makes them create one when setting it up, and there is no fediverse server equivalent to that.
I don’t think I’ve ever received an e-mail from an Apple Mail address.
I'm pretty sure "apple mail" refers to the Mail app on iPhones and Macs, not the email address. There's probably tons of people using Gmail addresses with the Apple Mail app.
