”Hide My Email users deserve to know that it may be possible for attackers to discover their hidden email addresses,” the person who reported the issue said.
The difference to me is that if I’m locked into using one particular email provider because I don’t feel like going through the hassle of updating all my accounts, it’s a low inconvenience, since most email providers are free/relatively cheap. But if I’m locked into the Apple ecosystem for the same reason, it’s a much bigger inconvenience, given the high cost of their hardware and privacy/security concerns (which some email providers also have, but that’s an issue in both cases so it’s moot)
