Superhuman are clearly not focussed on making anything useful
https://github.com/orgs/superhuman/repositories?q=&type=all&language=&sort=stargazers

Their top project is: https://github.com/superhuman/rxxr2 which is a mirror of a research project ...

Open Source is not their focus.

They charge 10x more than Google Apps: https://superhuman.com/pricing

Why? and How?

They can charge this money because to the people who really need to use email for the work,
they are saving time with every interaction.
Those people, who value their time, are willing to pay $30/month for something that doesn't waste their time.
