I get a bunch of information through emails at work that Im not allowed to share outside the company, and tons of others that I need to send to people outside the company. If the people sending me the internal company emails mark them as such, I can be sure I never inadvertently forward the wrong emails to the wrong group.

I think the threat model is about catching your own mistakes, not preventing bad actors from acting.

it seems it would be more useful to implement things such as "delete message after X days" or "do not forward" instead of mock features like this. Adding an autodelete feature in gmail is overly complex, requires filters + google scripts.

Did you read the actual article? They added that as well.

Right but from the sender's side only. I wish there was an easy way to automate deleting of old messages e.g. auto-deleting my unread messages or most of the newsletter/promotional stuff.

This feature only works for users of Gmail and specifically web mail. All the users I would want to have an extra layer around 'shoot themselves in the foot' usually also insist on using Outlook to access their email.

This is simply a superficial UI that gives a false sense of doing anything for most of the cases.
