In the process of creating an iCloud account, a...@me.com email address is automatically created. Invariably, anyone setting an iCloud account will already have an existing email address, and at the very least this will be associated with their ISP. For my own part, becuase I am with Telstra Cable I have a bigpond email address. I have never ever used it - not even through webmail. I also have four or five other email addresses (including iCloud) that I rarely, if ever use, but each one has its uses for some specific reason. Most people, I feel, will not be using their .me accounts as their primary email account for various reasons. This does not reflect the value or effectiveness of iCloud in any way. Of all of Apple's efforts in this area so far, iCloud seems to be the most successful.
