I think at one point Gmail was wanting to do that then didn’t do that.

Gmail does. This is great for privacy because it destroys the usefulness of the tracking pixel to the marketer.

GMail displays them. It uses a proxy for downloading, but I don't think that matters unless they're preloading all images unconditionally upon server-side receipt of the message.
Apple's macOS Mail.app client displays external images by default, as does their iOS app.
