If dynamically loaded content becomes widely supported, why would that mime part continue to exist? The web already doesn’t work without javascript. Why wouldn’t email quickly follow suit as well?

MUAs have widely supported HTML emails for decades, and yet Amazon still includes a text/plain part with their order confirmation emails.
