https://developers.google.com/gmail/ampemail is the Google developer information about dynamic email, that link was about controlling the content with Google Workspace.
The standardization is via AMP, docs at https://amp.dev/about/email/ and a pretty short list of other providers who support it. The death of email will come from outside the eco-system, not from individual attempts to extend it. And death is probably a ways off, more like email is going the way of postal mail, rarely used for personal communication and more for receipts and confirmations and work.... for a while it seemed like RSVPs were moving to FB or whatever, now I don't even know. User surveys and more in-depth discussions with folks, especially skewing younger, is very interesting if you want to know how perceptions of email are...
