We could make X.509 and PGP-based authentication the norm for serious emails.

I remember when cleartext telnet and http was the norm, and today, it’s ssh and https. The same improvements haven’t generally happened with email, but they could.

Because encryption is being used in emails? You don’t use cleartext SMTP anymore.

That does not change that you don’t identify people on the internet, regardless of the protocol.
