Why do DEA services have a bad reputation?

It is too bad that "disposable" emails have such a bad reputation among some webmasters. While I understand their concerns, it is too bad that services like Spamex, Addy.io and Simplelogin are included among these.

These are legitimate services, some of which I actually pay for. I use multiple emails for one simple reason: if I need to delete a sender, I don't have to tell all my contacts that I have a new email. They are for me a legitimate tool for spam prevention.

Any opinions?

I have been using spamgourmet for quite a while now. I found it useful for writing down an email address on a bands 'newsletter subscribe form', and that quickly expanded to just 'giving out' an email address to a specific person or an entity that consists of 1 or more people.
