E-mail survives because of the distributed and kinda federated approach of collaborating across domains and scopes and actually being quite resistant and reliable when it comes to getting an e-mail delivered. Plus it's a pretty simple protocol at its core.

Yes, it got issues. But it's quite reliable at its core. And everyone knows how to use it, just as they know how to use a phone.
