Same here. And the reasons you mention are exactly the reason I deleted that account a few years ago when I switched to Fastmail.

A couple of my friends are willing to put up with it, but always mention the volume of spam they deal with.

I've had my new email address for 6-odd years and only have one regular spam source - from a hack of an online shop - but as I used a username+shopname email alias for it, it's easy to detect and automatically handle.

Now I use Fastmail's "Masked Email" feature for each online account. When (not if) a site gets hacked, I just change the site to use a new masked address and block/delete the old one, and then it's useless to scammers/spammers.
