Isn't it just the receiving mail SERVER acknowledging receiving the message? That says nothing about mailbox access or reading. I would not consider it a privacy invasion.
Most modern communication apps have a similar process of separating "sent", "received" and "displayed to user" which is super useful. Apart from the last part I would not consider them a privacy violation and you can usually turn that off. Similarly, if I download my mail to a local client, the server never knows if or when I read it and definitely not the sender.
But maybe I am missing your point, could you elaborate if that is the case?
