Well, Microsoft did add "reactions" to Outlook and has been universally hated for it.

Wasn't the hate because of a botched implementation that ended up spamming the original sender or something?

Yeah, the reactions are just email messages with special headers, which as you say ends up spamming people who don't use Outlook. I think the hate was a mix of reaction to bad implementation and the concept in general.
