People use email because it’s the only interoperable communication standard. It’s a shit standard but society has been unable to develop another popular interoperable communication standard in 30 years because it’s not profitable enough.
Same reason no power tools use the same connector across brands even though they’re all the same on the inside. They want to lock you into their ecosystem.
I really hate that some people I know only use Facebook Messenger, some use Instagram, some use Discord, and some use text.
It’s a nightmare when working in groups for uni, so I just email everyone. Email has all the features I like.
I have plenty of folks in my circles who never read or reply to emails :p
