I fully agree with this.

Some people, including myself unfortunately, are uncomfortable with unread messages. The biggest problem is, you’ll read the message, but not respond right away to avoid creating the impression “keep messaging me at this hour”. Then, when the appropriate time to answer comes, whatever your definition of that is, you’ll forget to actually answer.

I don’t have this problem with email, but messaging platforms create this with read receipts, online/offline status, etc.
