I think it was with the thought that users e-mail address might change without
invalidating the identity of the user? It is also usually including in SubjectAltName,
so is duplicated.

There are also very good reasons for including them, such as ensuring uniqueness
of DN's in a PKI where multiple users have the same name.

It looks like 'emailAddress' in OpenCA's web interfaces, but once the certificate
is generated you will notice it is actually E= in the DN.
