as it's a tracking pixel it's personalized, if you are reading your email in the cafeteria with their wifi, potentially everybody in the cafeteria know more about you than they need

What do you mean it's personalized? It's an anonymous identifier token specific only to that email.

Like I said, even with HTTPS everyone in the cafeteria theoretically knows you're connecting to HBSC as well.

So I don't see the difference.
