It's email reputation, it the always the answer with this kind of stuff.

My guess is that the bounce rate got too high and bot farms were using iCloud addresses like this.

The bounce rate of what, exactly?

Because the bounce rate of Hide My Email addresses being deliverable is going to rise over time, by design.

Whenever I start getting spam at an address that's been leaked, I deactivate it. I've done the same with my oldest gmail account, but the work required there is notably higher.
