It's a common feature. Mozilla, addy.io, SimpleLogin, etc. all have it. However Apple is special in that they use the same domain as millions of other genuine users, so sites can't really effectively block you from using it, as is the case with just about every other email aliasing service. Unfortunately they're also abandoning that feature.
