Ah. I think the difference is that when I send emails, I do so to communicate information, rather than to elicit people to buy a product.

Even when communicating important information, using the company design has been the norm since graphic printing was invented. Even something as transactional as a bank statement or court summon will use the sending organization's logo, fonts and colors.
Are you relying on the user's email client to convert plaintext URIs into interactive hyperlinks in transactional mail?
No. As I said, I'm not advocating for plain text only emails, just simple ones.
