Weird. It’s almost like putting billions of eggs in one basket and tossing a live hand grenade in the middle has a negative effect on said eggs.

I wonder how big a pile of eggs you'd need for the outermost ones to not break when the grenade explodes...

Where's Randall Munroe when you need him

Yep. There is very little reason or benefit in centralizing a naturally decentralized technology like email

Uh, what about all the money Microsoft has now to invest in making their products better? Wait....

I utterly lothe that this is true but I have one solid argument for needing centerlization of email. It is spam filtering. Both incoming and not getting filtered by others outgoing.

I'm sure it is solvable through other means but I can assure you working in IT myself that is isn't an easy solve which is why this has won out in practice.

How about kinetic orbital bombardment. You know, "Rods From God." Didn't turn out to have much strategic military value, but would they be an effective deterrent against spammers, scammers, junk mailers and robocallers? One way to find out!
