Not sure you're still right in 2018. Where I live, non-tech people have more or less stopped using email for non-work stuff in favor of WhatsApp. Facebook gets all the metadata, but you would probably argue that this is much better than an open standard like e-mail.
E-Mails are mostly used for work-related information exchange. Those emails are usually sent from a PC in some corporate setting. The IT departments could enforce the use of encryption but nobody cares -- maybe also because management isn't aware of how email works and doesn't care until it is forced to.
