At some point email went from a true communication avenue to just “sending this for reference”. Apps and services are adding their own notification inboxes and comment threads (or activity logs) and @-mentions as an interaction pattern so that they can enrich and embed communication in the context of what they do.
I won’t go so far as to say that email is dying, but it’s certainly changing in purpose.
