I don't think the change we need to make here is "everyone should require email for everything, and therefore we need government subsidized emails for everyone." If anything, the change should be "email is not required", because it's not.

Furthermore, these are not rights but privileges:

> buying virtually anything online > interacting with the government online (I needed to provide an email address to update my driver's license and vehicle registration) > opening a bank account > renting an apartment

I feel strongly the other things aren't rights either, but don't want to argue about it.
