Is leaving the email as a required field for registration against FOSS philosophy by any means? even if it won’t be used for anything other than user verification/notifications if agreed by the user?

Not really. If you selfhost, all the emails you create share the same domain, which can easily be used to identify you if you’re the only one using it. Theses services have the advantage of letting you blend in the crowd.
i guess you could self host and let other people use it, like what gmail did
You’re going to have a hard time getting a crowd as large as SimpleLogin’s
