Email isn't private. They don't scan your email for ads which is about all you can ask for

They strip all the tracking from the emails. I'll unsubscribe from ads, or turn off compromised addresses, but them not scanning my emails is a plus.

Email as a protocol is not private. It wasn't designed to be.
