Yes I know that but that's not relevant to my point. My point is to emphasize the "hide the email" advantages.
I should have wrote my sentence like this:
- Many services (including many non-payment processor gateways) hide email addresses from sellers including ebay, Etsy, Craigslist, Amazon, etc.
>What companies do with the emails is... up to them. But that goes for any payment processor.
Not it does not for _any_ payment processor. E.g. Apple payment system does not reveal email addresses while PayPal does. Buyers then complain about followup spam because they paid via PayPal.
The assertion of "what companies do with the emails is up to them" is true and yet it is missing the crucial point of the conversation. The distinction is a layer above that: systems that don't give the companies email addresses at all.
The later text revision by Paddle that "sharing email is opt-in" is still suboptimal for consumers because that's just one more tedious item to doublecheck. I.e. is there a UI dark pattern that was silently switch from off to on. Apple payment eliminates that mental tax.
