If you don't have a catch-all, emails sent to non-existent addresses
will bounce, and the sender will know to resend them to the correct
address. OTOH, if you do have a catch-all, there's a bigger risk
(IMO) that legit email will get lost among the spam. Also, how often
do you check a catch-all account?

Personally, I don't want to see spam even in a catch-all account.
Spammers have a chance of reaching an audience with catch-all
accounts, but they have no chance if spam is bounced.

A limited number of email accounts is not a good thing for some of
us. But as long as the aliases are unlimited, you can do a lot with
them.
