I disagree... I like having my domain and email..
What does that have to do with whether there are bad paid services?
Whether the service is free or paid, you need to evaluate whether it's
meeting your needs and, if not, pick a different service. Just paying
for it doesn't guarantee anything.
That said, owning a domain does at least make it easier to change
providers--and I recommend doing so for just that reason--but that's a
slightly different thing than just paying for an email address. It's
also worth noting that it's increasingly difficult to implement reliable
email service for a domain that isn't something like gmail.com (because
third parties may randomly direct people to stop accepting mail from
your domain) and smaller email providers may not have the resources to
deal with the these issues.
