Thanks for your reply, Kris. My intention behind the original question was not to suggest adding validation for email legitimacy, but rather to inquire about and understand the rationale behind the initial design decision to forgo strict validation when the user identity feature (user.email) was implemented.

I've come across many explanations, but they mostly list the various application scenarios for `user.email` value. I haven't found an officially recognized answer regarding whether the above applications were explicitly considered during the initial design phase. Therefore, I would like to consult the official community here.

Thank you again for your help.
