Actually it does, because if industry stops using tracking pixels, it demotivates email clients from having to support it, and makes it easier to block bad actors. Same with tracking on websites and browser support. Chrome would instantly put in a tracking blocker if Google couldn't do tracking any more. But so far Google's strategy is fighting and working around the law because they think they would lose a huge amount of revenue without tracking.

> it demotivates email clients from having to support it. Hardly. It's just the abuse of being able to display images in HTML-formatted mail. You would have to remove every tag and attribute that is able to request an external URL from a mail HTML dialect to counteract tracking.
