There is the Email Industry - that is the problem.

Just because you associate emails with spam doesn't solve the problem of every charity, business, church, school and group needing to communicate with large numbers of email subscribers. Like anything, bad actors make it worse.

Somehow all those groups managed to get by without email in the past. I'm sure they would be fine today as well.

No "industry" is needed for pub/sub news. The GDPR only affects the companies abusing current system for unsoliticed advertising

I work in the "email industry" and what my company does has nothing to do with marketing.
