These days with how tied to your identity email is, using an ISP provided email is like self-imposed vendor lock-in though. A friend who uses an ISP provided email just switched ISPs and it caused havoc - bank logins, power company logins, etc
That seems unusually mature and consumer-oriented for an ISP
It's such a reasonable a policy I'm finding it hard to believe, unless there's a clause that they get a kidney, or are allowed to show up and break your ankles, or are taking ownership of your first born child or something.
