There’s still the ability to just type out half a sentence. Digging a bit deeper, is your concern that “if there’s a tool, people will use it”?

Aside: I think this creates a delightful opportunity for an unnecessary middleman. Let’s make “Summarizely” a SaaS app to summarize long winded emails!

That is a big part of what software industry does to society, isn't it? If there's a tool, people will use it, and when enough people use it, it becomes expected or even required to use it.

I expanded on that phenomenon a bit in a different HN thread today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34155487.
