He wants to stop "incentivising crime"

by making it possible for everyone to plausibly deny that they sent an email.

And in the process, making it possible to plan crimes using email and get away with it, because all such emails would then be inadmissable as evidence as it would no longer be provable that the sender actually sent the email.

Hell of an unintended consequence.
