What, so you can abuse it? And all the servers involved, people with email accounts?
Heck, loads of rubbish gets sent via email that is of no use to the receiver at all. And many images are seen once on a computer screen, but come as multi-megabyte files which will never get printed.
Run a mail server, back it up properly and tell me if you want super huge files wasting space there, let alone the resource requirements to process the junk.
If a file is important, it will be downloaded and it need not be so hard.Downloading via email increases the payload considerably and in many cases for files that are not wanted or are not wanted in such a large file size format. Downloading from a file share resource is much more efficient.
Which problem? Tight quota limits suck and make an email account unusable.
People have trouble with 40MB quota limits, I've seen one client send 3 emails in short succession totalling 60MB, that is utter abuse and most receiver's won't be able to accept that much in their "normal" sized quotas.
There are many, much better ways to share large files privately, email is a very bad choice for this requirement.
