> It doesn't make sense as being cultural because there plenty of real examples of effective writing that starts with what you are writing about.

That argument does not make sense.

> It makes no sense for this "culture" to think less of research or any writing that intends to persuade because it starts with a introduction or summary.

And it does not make sense for you to look down at writing that puts conclusion to the end going with arguments first. It is just an habit and meaningless difference, that is all.

> This is one example, it has rules because those are effective at communicating. How can you just write it off like that? With no reason other then you think it doesn't count?

Researchers and their papers are not effective at communicating. That a thing that researches complain about periodically.

In any case, corporate mail is not research paper. Among other things, it is supposed to be significantly shorter. Just like it is not newspaper article.
