It's dubious to rely on a company's electronic records for your statements imo. They can delete or change anything they want. They can easily make an accusation that your e-mailed statement was forged. It'd be harder to make the same accusation on mailed statements, especially since most use paper with special watermarks or letterheads.

I still get paper statements because it makes things less scary!

And I've never ever gotten such an offer that also includes a discount to recognize their savings and the problems you point out.

Well, come to think of it my account with Consumer Cellular is 100% paperless, that's probably their default and I'd probably have to pay to get paper from them.

(They're a great AT&T reseller for people who spend very little time using their cell phones.)
