+1 to Al. (no pun intended for the '+'.)
Only this weekend I was trying to help an old colleague with a
migration from Gsuite to M365. The #1 complaint... was some of his
minions were seemingly crippled by the lack of this function.. and I
was thinking err.... aliases? Aliases?
The critical feature in '+' tagging (and equivalents using other
characters or patterns) is the ability to create aliases on-the-fly in a
namespace that the user controls such that the mail system handling
delivery only needs to know the tagging pattern rather than every new
tag.
The "de-tagging" tactic that Al noted has existed, although I don't see
much evidence of it in recent years. I think it may be that enough
people who use tagged addresses give tagged addresses less scrutiny that
senders who paid attention noticed that de-tagging hurts deliverability.
