No, that's due to commercial policies of the companies. Nothing to do
with PMTU-blackhole in that case. It's been like it for years.

(And btw, MTU issues with PMTU blackhole mean that the connection
can succeed but delivery fails - so using a short connection timeout
does not help).

In any event, even without any of these problems, it is easily possible
to have an outage which affects only one of v4+v6. It's nice to still
have semi-working email when that happens (especially if email is needed
to get such an outage fixed!)
