Wrong, the internet existed with e-mail for a generation

before the browser and it didn't take off. I think if you check your history you will find email as a common network use in the 1970's!

Corporations preferred to send email over private networks.

It was the browser and HTML and faster modems that brought the possibility of graphics to the public network --- the internet, and that caused the explosion of personal use, and brought us to where we are today.

A killer app is by definition one that everyone must have. For e-commerce, that killer app certainly isn't email. How do you do ecommerce with email anyway? Is that the way Amazon and Ebay and Yahoo make their money?

Your thinking is built on an incorrect premise.
