You’re not wrong, but how would you suggest to accomplish this? Replacing whole email infrastructure seems nearly impossible.

My hope is that people move away from email as they get tired by it, and towards more convenient instant messaging platforms which pretty much get the feature set right (attachments, encryption, blocking/spam provisions, provenance, "stories" and special group chat modes for broadcasting) and for which open protocols arise ((are being forced by the eu)): https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/6/24063705/whatsapp-interope...

In the future, I hope that email will be like fax, or at least treated like http in comparison to instant messaging (https).
