What’s the positive case for email validation?

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.
