I think the point is to make clear which characters belongs to the link
and which do not. Sometimes wrapping makes that hard to predict
otherwise, and ideally a client can use the hints to reliably create a
working link.
Yeh. I get plenty of plain-text emails where wrapping by the sending
program breaks a link and I have to reassemble it before using it. This
is especially bothersome when the message has been through several reply
iterations. Most but not all programs will respect angle brackets and
not break URLs.
If you don't like them in outgoing mail, use HTML, which doesn't need them.
