Will this service be available on the web? I get the feeling that this will only be available on iOS, meaning that you lose access to all your accounts if you decide to switch to Android.

I can already see devs implementing things such as `if email domain ends in privaterelay.appleid.com reject the email address and ask for a "real" one`, like what already exists for yopmail and others.

Some sites now seem to check whether an address is valid from some database or heuristic, because a random email with a valid domain is still rejected.

Can’t services just disallow/block this address?

Fun thing is, Apple themselves block name+addon@gmail.com addresses when using their dev console. You can bet that some companies will disallow Apple’s signature private passwords similarly if they can, in the name of ‘security’ or what have you.

Or am I being too cynical? Feel free to CMV.

EDIT: best response addressing this seems to be ‘The addresses are only generated from the "Sign In With Apple" workflow that a developer has to enable in the first place’
