Why is email better for record-keeping?
Because it is searchable and archivable.
Gmail changed this in 2004 with its one gigabyte of storage. Before that, users had to delete messages constantly. Gmail's motto was archive, do not delete. That simple shift turned inboxes into searchable life archives.
Email is now both communication and documentation.
