I have to use a Mac for work and stumbled across the fact that apparently you can create as many fake emails as you want to hide your email address when signing up for services, then I realized they were essentially just aliases because all the emails just forward to your actual email address until you delete the alias. I suppose it would make it easy to filter them to another folder though. It’s part of their private relay feature for iCloud.
I haven’t tried but Google seems to claim you can change the front field from the Apple mail app or iCloud.com but you can’t if you do it from the Gmail or yahoo etc app because it doesnt know they exist. If you end up trying it let me know if it works.

Overall mildly helpful I suppose.
Yeah it’s not terrible, I just wish you could send from them as well.
You can, it’s just a bit of a faff
