It's not marketed as an email client - they're marketing for a certain experience.

> For me, email is about being not locked into a specific client. And Hey requires a separate client than the one for my existing email addresses.

The graveyard of services acquired or dead (or both) is littered with those who attempted to 1) bring about radical change to email 2) without disrupting the current ecosystem of mail clients and hosts. It clearly almost never worked for anyone, so I at least applaud them for going out of their way, loudly trying to veer off of said graveyard. It speaks to the experience they're selling. It may not have appealed to you, but they aren't short of the ones it appealed to.

Now, whether it'll work out for them, that's another topic :D
