You are equalling emails with files, which is not within the point of the OP.

Files are things you store for reuse. Emails are mostly things you should throw right away after reading them. Some emails should become files because they are important. That's why in "normal companies" most people work with attachments, which is a gigantic PITA, but fit with the "Files are important things I need to store for reuse" model.

I was using emails as a parallel. Some conclusions can be drawn from that.
