Is it still true that the original primary iCloud email address can’t be deleted?

In iOS 18.1, I realized I can switch the primary email address of my Apple Account. I never liked my primary iCloud email address, so after switching to a 3rd party address, I removed the primary iCloud email address from my Apple Account. It doesn’t appear in Sign-In & Security in the iOS 18.1 iCloud settings anymore, and it won’t receive emails anymore, but it still appears in the iCloud Mail settings along with the aliases I use. Is there a way to completely get rid of it?
