I have been in many different environments almost exclusively technical organizations selling tech in some form or another from tiny startups to enormous organizations, and the only time I remember anybody really caring about email was my first job at a university. I think that was mostly because IM barely existed (literally my first task was setting up an XMPP server).

So when a sales person recieved an email from a prospect they would ignore it? When a developer recieved an email about a bug in production they would ignore it? All communication was done over chat? It's not impossible, but pretty implausible.
What organization do you work in? Everywhere I've worked, I've been responsible for every piece of information sent to me. Slack doesn't help at all. Conversations are based on person-to-person communications rather than ideas like an email thread with a subject line.
