You’d think that every place should do this, but for whatever reason a lot of them do weird shit like in the OP. Not sure why that is. Maybe they are afraid of the characters running too long or something like that for people with long names?

My work does first initial last name, which even internally results in tons of jsmith2@company.com.
I don’t really get why I can’t just choose from a list of accepted combinations or something.

This is just supposition but I presume the resmasoning is they want to programatically “calculate” your email address.
I mean that’s a dumb constraint but it does explain the requirement.
