Personally I think the problems/flaws in the email infrustructure are ones that really only impact email admins. And largely email just works for end users, though they get impacted with spam. An example is SPF and DKIM, while good ideas, are easy to implement wrong, and not everyone implements them, so they can be used as a reliable method of domain/system verification. This mostly impacts email admins, with a trickle down effect of increased spam to the end user
