I would rather more places require email verification.
(As lurch said, even aside from any security uses, it can be used to verify ownership of the email address.)
People fuck up when sharing their email address a lot. And it bugs me no end when I get subscribed to something because someone mistyped TootSweet111@gmail.com when they meant TootSweet1111@gmail.com. (Not my real email address, obviously, but you get the idea.) I’ve had to unsubscribe from other people’s spam more times than I’d like to have.
