Looking at my work inbox, 80% of my email is under 100k, attachment included. And in almost every case, the attachment (usually a document or screenshot) is what causes it to go over the limit.
I have specifically chosen my work inbox because most of it is actual useful, work-related conversations and not spam.
So yeah, 102k is fine, and I prefer to click on the occasional "View entire message" rather than sacrifice performance because of a few bloated messages.
What the article complain about is that it is not enough for well-styled newsletters and stuff like that. But I call it a feature, not a bug. These mails are definitely not a priority, let them be truncated. One interesting point is that it can hide the "unsubscribe" link. Google already addresses that by providing an "unsubscribe" link right on top if you do things correctly, and if you don't, then you are a spammer and you will get blacklisted soon enough.
