I don't know what was going on behind the scenes but as a user of their mail app it felt barebones. So to see them working on a full rewrite for years instead of moving forward is kinda surprising. Like bro its a mail app features are more important than speed or memory safety.

to me, a reliable, and efficient mail client is more important that a bunch of features.

Just my option though.

Their wanting to add features over all platforms is the reason they did the rewrite. Implementing consistent features over web, Android and iOS without a common codebase is a waste of engineering time and would've led to bad quality over the years.
