That's just bad designing. Good designers use the Figma equivalent of flexboxes and develop responsible designs.

How is this react related? You could always write crappy css. A team creating non responsive react apps would not create responsive non-react apps

They said email templates. That means no flex/grid/typefaces etc etc. emails are painful caveman html

My favorite factoid is that Windows desktop Outlook uses the MS Word engine to render emails. If regular emails are caveman html (which they are), then I don't know what that makes Outlook html.

Neanderthal HTML? Some crossover, but mostly a distinct competing lineage?

Within the confines of Microsoft Office, it kinda makes sense.

You can copy+paste anything from any Office product and it will render in your email. It also makes doing mail merges much simpler.

So as a corporate email tool it's a smart idea. Making it harder for advertisers to design fancy emails is just an added perk.

Fun fact: A factoid is something that seems like it could be a fact but is in fact false. I know it's commonly misused as a synonym of "fact" and I don't really care, it's evolving as a word and that's fine. But I really enjoy the sentence "Fun fact: A factoid is something that seems like it could be a fact but is in fact false." so I can't help but share :D

You mean the definition of factoid (noun) isnt: little facty?!
