Saying "using Email is easier" you are just saying that "Email is a human readable string" ...
exactly. humans are creatures of habit. and you may not like it, but humans in general are more used to the form of an email than a random looking string. but in the end we will see if the lightning address is something that will find bigger adoption. also what fillippone said: it is opt-in, you are free not to use it. but i also like what rusty is doing with bolt12, looks similar to what the lightning address achieves, but with less dependency on the webserver (only needed once initially, for the lightning address with every transaction the webserver is needed)
