There are, obviously, replacements for email. Most of us get a tiny fraction of the email we did just 10 years ago because so much has moved out of email and into other messaging systems. The faulty logic being used here is that there is nothing shaped precisely like email to replace email, and, of course, there never will be.

At the point where you’re joking about other people having brain worms, I think maybe we need to accept that this thread is no in keeping with the guidelines around comments.
It's a 6+ year old conversation now if you're curious:

You can read through that if you want, frankly it kind of surprises me how nothing at all has changed since then. It's impossible not to respect Thomas immensely in this field overall, or most of his commentary. Which is why I was and remain genuinely befuddled by his replies on this specific topic. So it goes?

How often do you use encrypted email vs encrypted messaging?
The idea that there isn’t an obvious replacement for email in the encrypted text communications space is a wild assertion. Brain wormy even.
