It doesn't "end read receipts", but it does end the validity of considering read receipts as a valid metric for users of Apple Mail.

By always requesting images, even if you haven't read the email, that metric is now bogus.

By loading all images through proxy servers, any metrics on location, browser, and operating system are bogus.
