The author is stating that they can’t use it as a unique identifier for the user. Isn’t that the root of the problem?

A new domain owner could try to reuse email addresses, but since the domain is now in a new workspace the sub should be different and downstream services shouldn’t second guess that. Am I wrong about this?
