Nobody's "forced" to use it. Users can turn off AMP in Gmail, and email authors can continue to just use HTML emails if they don't like AMP. HTML emails will continue to display in Gmail just fine for the foreseeable future.

“Forseeable future”. Aka “as soon as Google decides they benefit more from AMP”.
Much like “we won’t ever use AMP to rig search results”.
And yes, users are forced to use AMP through their search, for example.
Even if they wanted to, Google couldn't kill HTML in Gmail without breaking a huge number of emails for their users. AMP adoption would have to be near universal before they'd even consider something like that. Gmail, for example, still supports plaintext email just fine even though HTML has been supported in just about every mainstream email client for years now.

An AMP developer confirmed two things:
1. Setting Gmail to not automatically load external images will also ensure Dynamic Email (AMP for Email) is disabled by default as well.
2. The specific Dynamic Email setting should be "rolled out to all users over the next few weeks".
