Being able to do tasks without leaving your email client is actually great, specially on mobile. Answering Doodles, filling ticket forms etc. Users are going to love this. Should we not improve the email experience just for the sake of abstract concepts such as Web Standards? Not to mention that AMP is an open spec that could be implemented by anyone and be included in web standards.

Filling out web forms in emails sounds like a dream come true for phishing shops.

It's sad that we've gotten so jaded that you think Web Standards are abstract concepts that get in the way of improvement. Standards are what have gotten us as far as we are (in general).

P.S. WTF is a doodle?

You're aware that most web standards originate from proprietary tech that went crazy popular and were then standardized?

Doodle is super popular in Europe but not so in the US https://doodle.com/
