Using your own domain also has advantages in terms of being able to use aliases for different websites so (when, not if) an address gets leaked you can > /dev/null it.
If you're cheap like me you can give family members their own subdomain so everyone can have aliases for the cost of a single domain.
It's sad to think back on myself nearly two decades ago when Gmail first launched as invitation service and I thought I was being smart by not paying for my own domain, little did I know how evil Google would turn out to be in terms of locking people out of their own accounts with no recourse.
OK, but if the point was to obfuscate your "precious" address and use some other "throwaway" address, then this does not work. Your email address can be easily deconstructed and used for spam
