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.
