Letter mail still has a purpose. Email really can’t replace it. Sending bills to proprietary portals I need to sign into to see what I owe is ridiculous. Just one more app bro.

Flip phones with voice and text only - no data - plans put a wrench in the whole internet portal thing.

Unless of course it's law to own a mobile device.

I usually get my bills in a PDF? You have to join sites to view them? I would hate that.

Email is both insecure and unreliable by design. I would never want to receive anything financially or legally important that way. As a notification option, sure, but not the only way.

Emails can be end to end encrypted.

People can be honest and forthcoming too but you don't design a system around that assumption.

Did you just call Email unreliable ?? I live in a clown world.
