Eww, Google products
I was joking, but I'm curious what product you think could replace email? It's popular because it's instant (as opposed to phone, fax, email), and most importantly because it's decentralised. There is no one company in control, anyone can run a server on any software so long as it speaks the open standards.
I'm sure there is something that could replace it, but what's your suggestion?
Everyone uses messengers now, it's already been replaced
Apples to oranges. Messengers replace text, which replaces telegram.
Emails are comparable to letters, and are still the best option for that format.
