Through how many nations states did this email travel between you
and I? Mail is maybe worse than the web, but that's just with our
current deployments but who knows when they'll migrate a 5G VM for
a web server close to my base station?

I'd assert there's no way TLS clients in general could know when
to set or unset the "please wiretap me" evil bit in a ClientHello,
regardless of how complex a configuration is used.
