I'd rather write emails by hand and know that the emails I read are written by hand from real people. What's the point of even living if we're just going to be interacting and communicating through a machine?

I dunno.
Spend a few hours apologizing for something that was wrong or users found offensive. Have a panic at 9pm one night when you find the password reset system has a bug in it and lets you reset somebodies password even without access to their email. Decide if you can or should honor promises that the AI made for you. Go out of business and never realize that your emails had a 15% deliverability rate. Have customers leave in disgust because "the lights on are on and nobody is home" at your company.
Yeah, HTML mail is a hassle, even if you know how to code. (Maybe even more because it is so freakin' demented...) But what really bugs me about marketing email is all the other liability that is involved, particularly when it comes to deliverability. 45 min to craft an important marketing email is worth it, I've seen serious consequences of getting one wrong and what I really want is something that lets me put in my 45 min and know I am really done with it and there won't be quality problems, not 40 seconds now and know that if I do it 10 times it might give away the store on my behalf.
