Two? I know at least three!  M-x terminal is yet another.

As for mail UA, there are at least four (gnus, rmail, vm, mew), and
probably many more.

Because this is not a scarce world.  There's nobody to strangle the
offer and make you pay dearly for a few features.  There's an

choose amongst several options.  If you want empty shops, URSS^W North
Korea is that way.
