Maybe email could be integrated into the browser better.

  Ah yes. Back to the days of Netscape Communicator or AOL. You can experience this in its modern form (on a Mac or PC) with SeaMonkey or Vivaldi. Arguably Chrome + Sign-in to your Google Account + Gmail and Google Drive would get you there too, although I would never actually sign into Chrome to test that theory.

    No, I think you misunderstand me. I don't just mean that the browser contains an email client. I'm replying to a comment pointing out that the browser doesn't support identity and contacts. Email has that and it's an open protocol. To give you a very narrow example of what it might mean to integrate email into the browser better: Right now, even subscribing to a newsletter is kind of annoying. Type in your email, verify an email you get. If it was integrated better, it might be one click.

      That makes sense, and I hadn’t thought of that. Apple seems to be moving directionally towards something that could be an equal to that experience with Passkeys[1] which I’m personally ambivalent about and want to see what problems crop up first before I trust it. I at least want to see reliable passkey migration first since Microsoft and Google are apparently on board too[2].
