Comment on How defensible is Gmail's position today?parent

That resonates. The lock in feels less about email itself and more about identity and defaults across the Google ecosystem.

The point about encryption limiting agentic is interesting. It does seem like a real tension between strong privacy guarantees and server-side intelligence.

Do you think this is a fundamental limitation of E2EE email, or more a product/architecture choice that could be worked around with different trust models or client-side approaches?
