Can someone distill this down to how it will be used by the big three email providers to make it impossible to use email except through them?

If anything, this moves it towards anyone having more access to everything. For example, reject isn't going to be treated anymore as a bounce. Now, provider policies still can and would be BS, but the standard doesn't tell them to do it certain way.

Which big three?

Gmail has something like 1.8 billion users. iCloud mail around 1 billion.

Microsoft with 400 million users of its email is closer to Yahoo! Mail (225 million users) than to the big two.
