This raises the obvious question, then who is going to pay for them?

Who pays for e-mail?

E-mail is an open protocol, but clients and hosting are generally not free. You can pay for them, or you can subscribe to ad-supported services where they data-mine your inbox so they can target ads to you. But someone is paying for it.
