It's also not even close to how email works and plenty of people use email apps that aren't tied to a provider.

The app I'm using today has nothing to do with the instance I use.

Just like email... clients just speak a protocol, and use a particular manner of presentation.

That's literally my point.

Most people know that email isn't tied to a provider app.
