I find it embarrassing that this feature needs to exist at all

  Gmail is a free product, hence it has possibly low priority.

    I am paying for it, as are many businesses.

    Some % of Google's $30 billion quarterly revenue comes from Ads in Gmail. This does not include revenue generated from enterprise G Suite licenses.

    My tuition pays for g suite.

      It’s free for colleges. Your tuition pays for bloated administrative staff salaries.

    The older versions were faster. Every new update becomes slower and more bloated.

  The HTML version doesn't update when you get a new email. You have to refresh it to check. Also if you want to compose more than one email at once, or if you want to refer to one email while composing another, you need multiple browser tabs.

    > The HTML version doesn't update when you get a new email. You have to refresh it to check. This is one of the reasons I use it. I get in, catch up, get the hell out of dodge (close the tab), and then I don't have (yet) a(nother) gmail tab sucking up literally hundreds of MB of RSS.

    Such features could be added in a lightweight way with very minimal javascript, to the html version.
