I'm not sure how much university actually contributes to one's success and some might be self-taught, but certainly the people you are surrounded with and work with (which is often at university) do for sure.
I was wondering what people's thoughts on university, especially engineering degrees are.

Data breaches happen all the time.
Some services also expose emails, intentionally or unintentionally. Github is one example where your email might be exposed publicly.
> How does that help you track me elsewhere? If I start receiving spam at hn@mydomain.com because of the leak, I will simply revoke the alias, and the spam will bounce.
Because, as parent said, if someone deduces that you are the only user of mydomain.com, they can just search leaked or exposed records for @mydomain.com and infer that the accounts most likely belong to the same person.
That's the difference, with hide my email millions of unrelated people share the same domain, so you can't reliably link one email to another just based on the domain.
