This is not unique to email.  There are many people who use Internet 
services because they are a recognized name brand, regardless of how 
many thousands of miles away they are or whose flag they fly.

Service providers give management an easy scapegoat when things go wrong.  
The bigger the name, the bigger the “too big to fail” conceit on both 
sides of the equation.  For smaller organizations, they just couldn’t 
employ enough technical staff to oversee all the stacks that they 
want/need to run.

In short, the “advantage” is being able to use all these toys without 
actually having to understand *anything* about how they actually work.  
They *want* to be “unaware”; you make no friends when you try to inform 
them of their reality.
