Yes.  Indeed, it will work better for email providers, because there
are many of them in most environments.  Each can set a private policy
about what characters, or sequences of characters, they will or will
not accept in local-parts.

In general, companies are far less malleable under political pressure than
government agencies.  The only way to forcibly shift one from its policy
will be by private lawsuit, and in a vanishing number of cases will it
be worth doing that rather than just switching to another email provider.
