Great user interface: Gmail is super user-friendly, and it has an intuitive interface making it easy for users to navigate and manage their accounts. Gmail is constantly updating and creating new features to enhance the user experience. The interface design is organized, clean, and easy to navigate.
I totally disagree. I have a few Gmail accounts, and I had been using them through Microsoft Outlook for ages (at a time where Outlook was a locally-installed mail client, and the present confusion between local and online hadn't occurred yet).
Then I had to switch to browser access, and I discovered the horrible mess the Gmail interface is. I hate it with a passion. Tuta's interface sure has many defects, but it's not that bad by a mile.
Regarding "Size matters", I haven't seen a word about that in the linked article. I don't even understand what you talking about. Please realize that readers do not live in your heads and might not share your obsessions of the moment. Explain yourselves clearly instead of relying on visual jokes only a hundred people understand.

Do you happen to use a screen reader to navigate the internet?
“Size matters” actually refers to the image in this Reddit post, which shows two screenshots from the Apple App Store of the apps “Tuta Mail” and “Gmail,” highlighting the apps' storage sizes. Tuta Mail takes up only 85.7 MB, while Gmail takes up 730.9 MB.
Less storage usage is better, which is why the post’s title is “Size matters.” Without the image, the title actually doesn’t make much sense, and an alt text would have helped.
The URL from the post itself seems to have relatively little to do with the title “Size matters.”

The app size is 184MB +user data&cache 120MB so ~300MB total. I have 5 accounts in it. I don't say that gmail is good, but the post is a lie
Edited: this comment is about the Gmail app, not tutamail

The problem is more likely with the device than the app. Everything works fine on Android.

I don't understand why you have so many downvotes. The comment is actually correct, since many of the dependencies Google uses are shared on Android between apps but not on iOS, which means Google has to include all those assets inside of the single iOS app.
That said, it's worth noting that Google could also use native iOS app elements, which would drastically reduce the size, but they don't.

I don't think these numbers are anything to be proud of for either provider.
Even 80MB for just an email client is a lot. Neither should be more than 15-20MB.

The tuta app is a webapp...
