Can someone please explain to me why they can't create the account even if it is used as disposable? Storing one text file with the login on their side does not cost much storage at all.

Because they want to sell it and spam it.
Simplelogin supports custom domains. This is a non-issue if you use your own domain(s).
It's actually really easy to get past the custom domain issue.
If the domain is send-and-receive, it will need a SPF record to avoid getting blackholed by most mail providers. A TXT lookup for the SPF record would tie the custom domain back to the real provider.
Or even easier, you could look up the MX records to see what domain they point to.

This happens to me occasionally already as a paid Fastmail user. I switched from Gmail about a year ago and I canβt change my existing Yahoo account to use Fastmail.
I get it, we deal with fraud and abuse from throwaway emails all day at work, but it is frustrating for sure.
