Which came as a reaction to "tracking cookies" and the like being added to e-mail.

It was a reaction, not a proactive response.

Rather than tracking cookies it's a form of delivery confirmation via unique url. One of the mitigations is to configure the server to unconditionally fetch (and retain) all embedded media immediately on receipt of the message. Which makes the BigTech example all the more egregious.
