Traffic between email clients and servers is encrypted so can be emails themselves; PGP can be used for encryption of emails and authentication between email senders. But another story is majority of people do not use PGP because of its bad UX.

PGP isn’t an improvement to the protocol, it’s encapsulating data in another protocol/format. Your comment proves he point; email has evolved so slow we’re running it through tunnels and embedding PGP encryption to overcome the weaknesses that the protocol has not been able to fix.
