Right but my point is, big corporations are actively opposed to E2E secure messages and that's a barrier to adoption.

Few if any big companies are going to be sending you GPG/PGP encrypted or signed email or be willfully receiving it. Take the Fortune 1000 off the list of potential secure email users and you've got a large portion of the professional class who won't know how to use this technology. I think that's a barrier to adoption.

Big employers don't care; web mail is already problematic for them, and E2E doesn't significantly change things.
