npub1u27r9h3j9pvrplaffsmpn698e8xhmuqhdgcxldv67ammql9pumnqha3qfq (npub1u27…3qfq) It's definitely ideal but it's also pretty hard when a given person's email address is going to be npub1pkvhz6070hz245cgd5hldx34ymrjyad2lhm6tk97ncgg8pexm8mqn57hdn (npub1pkv…7hdn).com 8 times out of 10.
Fedi servers are more spread out than email servers, and are already run by people thin on resources. Tying email to Fedi would make it even more costly to run and price people out. Tying Fedi to email is impossible because again, Gmail isn't going to do it. Outlook wouldn't either. Most people use one of those two to host their email.
You have to get people to either switch away from Gmail (god save your soul) or get Gmail to conform to something else. It's simply not possible.
I think this is another advantage Bluesky has for the use of domain names as a user ID; it continues to serve the identifier's best known, most familiar purpose (pointing to a website).
