Inside of a company perhaps, but between different ones? Usually not. Explaining that is a lot more difficult than having a file exchange system in whatever form.
(BTW still the easiest way to get an unencrypted text or unprotected zip file is to just tell them you can't open it.) Then there's the issue of the law defining retention times, audit compliant storage, backups and such for business communication which does get a lot more difficult if big files are involved. Besides email transports not being made for file transfer, the storage mechanisms of MUAs aren't made for big files either. Email is for sending letters, let DHL handle the bigger boxes.
