We (a team of 3 based in France) built this page because we were frustrated by how hard it is to own your identity online without any related knowledge.
We recently launched a tool (Happymail) to solve this, but this post is more about the philosophy of why we think the 'firstname.lastname' era is dying and why we should fix it.
Happy to answer questions, Regards

No, not really. Tons of email services allow you to buy custom domains without any additional setup. iCloud, Fastmail, Zoho, (insert domain registrar, as an addon), etc.
You don't need to manage mail servers, dkim, spf, dmarc and linux just to get a custom email domain. That's a choice, one you made.
Also what happens if I cancel? Can I transfer the domain away or do you keep it hostage? FAQ is not clear about that.
