The main thing with Masked Email is that you can use it to sign-up for different services. Like your phone number, it's another way that your identity can be connected between accounts. It's also something you can use to give out to people, without having to give out your read address. I know with your own domain, you can use email addresses at that domain or you can use fastmail.com. I prefer to make masked emails using fastmail.com, so no one even knows my domain.
This is absolutely a feature I wish I had started using a long time ago, or I even had available to me. There have been plenty of times were I sign up for something that is not an automated mailing list, just a mass send out, and there is no way to unsubscribe.
Aliases are not something I was thinking about when I first posted, but it is definitely the most necessary feature now that I think about it.
