Thanks for your answers. Its great to have such overview how TTN is been organized in the background. This help a lot to understand why things are like they are.

@Jeff-UK
Your message was not there when i answered the message from @clv . It appeared somehow before the message from @clv and also before my answer. Its looking now if i had ignored that message, that is why i write that.

About the main idea:
This

and this

just make the discussion from the view of getting this implemented not beneficial. Thanks for letting me know that. I pressed the Solution button at @Jeff-UK because he mentioned that first.

I know that the idea does not make sense from a company view especially when their idea is to send you a bill whenever possible. That is why platforms that have already implemented this idea are in general always some non-profit organizations.
Because people are spending their own money and setting up Gateways to provide other people access to this service, i was thinking this idea could be implemented when some of the people here like it. But it does not matter if you like it or not, because its the company decision and not the community.

The e-mail provider have more power at the TTN account then you on your own. The e-mail company can just send a password reset request, then they set a password they want and thats it. Your e-mail account is gone and your TTN account is also gone. This is not something hypothetical. Companies often take over the account of their users. The companies think, that what the customer does on their servers is theirs and not from the cusomer.

This is really not something special or something rare. Here a example from Oracle where they took over the account form the customer and logged into his account and looked around. The customer who was paying money was not able to access the account any more.
