I have absolutely no desire to send all of my companies intellectual property to a mail server. It could be the best workflow in the world, but if one email address gets breached, you're leaking everything and that's really unacceptable.

Isn't this also the case for centralized git servers? Even moreover if you run a monorepo.
No clue, I prefer to use a monster that actually has security mechanisms, and protocols in place designed by professionals.

Like a mail server?

I don't know, sending sensitive information over plain text doesn't scream security to me. So no, unlike a mail server.
It's 2023; mail servers have been using TLS for a very long time.
Yes, you can transmit messages via SMTP using TLS, but you don't need any special tools to read the email once it's reached its destination which is the point you seem to be missing. And before you scream PGP, almost nobody uses it.
