It must be difficult for you to appreciate the idea of not gatekeeping email. If you’re trying to get people to use plain text email in 2025, Thunderbird is the only obvious choice for a GUI client.

It runs everywhere and can be installed by anyone.

Why do want to make it harder for people?

I'm not trying to gatekeep anything or complicate for anyone. I didn't write the list, I just agree with it for obvious reasons relating to plain-text e-mailing. I run Thunderbird. I think you ran out of talking points and had to switch to accusations.
Your suggestion was that Mac users who want a a GUI should use homebrew.

If that’s not gatekeeping I don’t know what to tell you.
