I'm thinking more like using a CMS or Wordpress by people who don't consider themselves developers.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's some service that gave out shortened links by default and people just used those everywhere. Lots of people are clueless about how URLs work, and authoring HTML often means filling in a form.

Thunderbird on desktop, although I don't love it.

FairEmail on Android.
