It’s still relatively easy to sign up for a major email provider anonymously.

In my experience, it is actually impossible. Either you get blocked (IP/ASN ban, endless captchas) or it requires SMS confirmation. I have not been able to sign up for any major email provider anonymously. I'm pretty sure that's by design.

    Last I tried Outlook/Office.com/whatever it is now was still possible. Obviously don't use a VPN etc.

    Or just get a burner phone of you're really that paranoid.

    To me this kinda defeats the point of being privacy-conscious.

    Why? There's privacy conscious and then paranoid. Using a VPN to sign up to an email provider you're using to sign up for another website is definitely the latter. What do you think is going to happen?
