Interesting question - In schools, Managed Apple IDs particularly address the issue of a lack of storage in in order to collaborate using the rich tools, and providing an effective solution of backing up iPads etc.
I guess the assumption is that most schools or districts already have some form of email system and a lot of effort has been focused on Federating with them with the logins provided by those systems.
Apple doesn't provide strong tools for monitoring and maintaining email as most edu organisations would like them - the iCloud+ Custom Email Domains are targeted at single users and families who are bringing their own domain names and provide only basic tools for management there.
It's worth mentioning you don't need an email address just to sign-in to services - particularly for students. However it does make the collaboration/invitation process easier to have an email address.
Sorry I can't be of more help here..
Why don't managed school Apple IDs come with email?
I'd love to be able to run a school that uses iPad without having to implement Google Workspace or Office 365 to get email.
