Email has already largely become a newsletter and notification distribution system. Average people don't write or read emails anymore outside of some work settings but even then its usually Slack or MS Teams.
Technology and people move quickly so fossilized systems such as email get left behind. There is too much friction to improve a system which has a large number of different implementations. Where any change is hotly debated and people still resist features added to email over a decade ago. Naturally the proprietary systems win when they can roll out a new feature and have it universally work on day one.
