Then it’s dying. I don’t know a single person under 30 who uses email NOT for work

The fact that email is for work is why it will never die.

No, you will never be contacting your bank over Instagram DMs or getting hotel confirmations via Facebook or dealing with governments over Youtube.

Nobody sends physical mail to each other anymore either, yet last mile delivery is as important as ever.

People also use email to sign up for accounts, and sometimes still for handing in homework.

That's pretty much all email is good for these days. Even in business, Slack/Teams/Mattermost has replaced a lot of 2000s email communication.
