If they are US government employees, they wouldn't be arrogant enough to use official work email addresses.
Are you saying the US government isn't arrogant?
Idk why they're bringing arrogance into it, but you'd get caught using official email for personal projects in like... a minute. And if it's official work, why would they risk exposing themselves instead of going through one of the million us gov email proxies?
About 5 years ago I would've agreed but since then I've seen some shit in publicly streamed trials and politics, so I don't hold any standard anymore regarding this.
It's just now how it works though, most government firewalls wouldn't even deliver the emails. It's a constant pain in the ass to get legit emails in from non-government sources, even promotional marketing spam has to jump through a bunch of hoops to not get filtered (by which I mean they just pay off microsoft to get on the approved list, fucking thanks microsoft...). Fortress & Friends have very little chill and have been made even more paranoid in a bid to mitigate phishing. This is why there's so many proxy services or even just outside email servers set up for us government correspondence (plot twist, butterymales is sop big shock I know)
Few .edu's in there tho lol.
And a lot of gmail addresses. Funny enough, I think I saw 1 proton email.
There are 18 proton emails
