First, note that a great many enterprise use cases are total nonsense. But still: people want to be able to put messages into gmail from random other systems and have the "sent" label be applied, so they can treat it as a system of record.

You wouldn't do that by sending an email to the account. You'd do that by logging in with IMAP and importing an email that way.

That's how you would do it if course, but not everyone knows or understand IMAP. Everyone knows how to send an email
