You got that. Just not accurate.

I do wonder why you think disposable email addresses ruin signups. Esp. given they are often used to avoid signups ruining inboxes with spam.

i think you need to consider by what measure disposable email addresses are not legitimate.
And nor do you get that with an ostensibly non-disposable address either. Almost anyone can sign-up a regular gmail.com address and then dispose of it.
