Access patterns for the different tables will often be different. E.g. headers incl subject are much more commonly accessed (display of inbox), than the body (only when clicking on a thread), attachements are barely ever accessed. => different distribution logic for each.
So I think the misunderstanding was likely about what a "shard" is. The email's body is far less likely to be broken up (=> Rosenkranz interpretation), but the email with metadata and attachment as a whole is more likely to be broken up. I suspect didn't know technical term.
I would assume they’re using different database systems, even. Headers in Spanner, content and attachments in bigtable. Both automatically shard and distribute chunks of data, also. All for technical, non-LE, reasons
I'm not so sure about the mail body using a different datastore (access patterns for threaded display is latency sensitive), but at least some kinds of attachments are surely deduplicated and thus stored differently.
