This is exactly what we do on our newsletters, but to be fair "not loading images due to privacy concerns" is an edge case and I could understand a lot of mailers not thinking about it or not caring about it.

It is literally the default in Thunderbird and probably configured in a bunch of outlook settings. It is not the default in gmail, but it is not rare.

Thunderbird is the only one with that default and it has a <1% market share.
