Do such email programs exist? I don't think
most software even turns them.

many do.

This is yet
another harebrained idea to save iPhone users
from having to understand what they're doing.

nope.

the orientation tag dates back to when digital cameras became popular,
roughly 20 years ago, *long* before iphone was even an idea, let alone
an actual product.

nobody wants to go through thousands of photos and manually rotate the
ones that are in portrait or upside-down orientation.

Any JPG that requires software to check the
orientation EXIF tags is a faulty image.

there is nothing faulty about using an orientation tag.

what's faulty is deliberately ignoring the tag when displaying the
image.
