owning mypersonaldomain.com is pretty cheap
But doesn't that have the same issue? Have all the good domain names also been taken?

Depends on your definition of good, but yes, if John Smith wants to be john@smith.com he's out of luck unless he has a pile of money to offer the current owner.

Domain names cost money to keep hold of, so it's harder to take all of them and sit on them forever.
There are also a stupid number of new top level domains (eg .lfgss) and it's unlikely you'll find your name is taken on all of them.

I bought “allthegooddomainnamesweretaken.com”.

Yes, if they insist on using emailprovider.com as the domain. Compared with all the other subscriptions people are happy to pay, owning mypersonaldomain.com is pretty cheap.
