Email is the last stand against millisecond invasiveness of tech in every living second of our lives.

The reason that large companies struggle or fail to implement systems like slack and teams is not because they are superior to email. Its because these huge corporation treat employees as faceless cogs in a machine. Email fails email delays email sucks everyone knows this and accepts it so it becomes the only way to take a break from the corporate pressure cooker.

I suspect in the future small companies that treat their employees as human and can use better tools effectively will eventually take over sufficient market shares to force large companies (they already are really) reevaluate the dispensibility of its workforce.

The death of email is a social not tech problem.
