Email naturally followed this evolution.

So naturally everyone should just leave e-mail to be run by all the corporations.
You shouldn't own your car or your house, give them to all the corporations as well.

Some of us still leave our doors unlocked, too.
I've never even had the key to mine. I've lived here over a decade.
The problem isn't that a random person can't rent a Moldova VPS and run an email server, though. It's that most people are forced into gmail, apple and outlook accounts if they want to use phone/PC, and a respectful Moldova company now can't reach their respective Moldova clients without paying money towards USA.
Switch Moldova to almost any country (or even a state that isn't California or Washington), and it's the same story everywhere
