I'll bite.

First, encryption is not "obscurity" in the same way you think DRM is.

Second, several other email providers don't think they need to rely on some performance-killing DRM to "protect" their web app (oh no, what of all the value!).

Outlook has a part of their files minified, but doesn't use any obfuscation; apps like ProtonMail[0] and Tutanota[1] are even open source.

(I'm actually starting to migrate off of Gmail to Protonmail myself.)

Oh, and there's no need to call people "communists", "attackers", or "criminal scum". Be civil.
