> None of it feels like an ecosystem.. it feels like feature sets that atrophied about 10 years ago, and lack any ongoing creativity or innovation or product development.

From my viewpoint, most of the development in email tools over the last decade has been in the data processing realm.

ie, collecting data or improving the quantity and quality of integrations and then allowing newsletter senders to segment and personalise emails based on that. The more advanced tools allow for proper templating languages and ML based data models such as RFM, recommendation systems, etc.

Newsletters feel like a mostly solved problem with very little further product development required, from where I'm seeing things.
