Most of whom will not have much of a clue what IMAP is, much less use
any kind of mail client but a web browser.

I'm not saying you don't have a valid point, but you seem to be trying
to lump all of the above people into a camp that supports your arguments
in favor of such dramatic importance being attached to something that
affects only a very small minority of users in the real world - ie those
who are cursed by unreliable+low bandwidth internet access and want to
use a heavy standalone mail client and are super concerned about
security and not leaving traces of cached mail locally.
