There is a couple of others that do it as well – primary Microsoft and Yahoo. As to all other global and regional providers, they don't look at email engagement when making Inbox or spam decisions. There are a few reasons why:

When Verizon acquired AOL in June of 2015, they started gradually moving their email accounts ending in @verizon.net to AOL.
They required Verizon customers wishing to keep their @verizon.net email address to request the migration of their account to AOL.
Verizon customers who do not request migration to AOL will have their email accounts closed by April 28, 2017.

When you hit "Send" in your email system or email service provider, your email is transmitted to the outgoing mail server and then to the mail server at the receiving ISP, which then decides what to do with your email based on the sending IP's reputation, authentication, your sending practices, and recipient engagement.
These factors directly influence whether or not your email will be delivered and where it will land (Inbox, Spam, Promotions).

Let's be honest: email marketing is nothing without deliverability. Don't believe anyone telling you otherwise. If your email is delivered, it can be seen, read, and clicked on. And if you can increase your email deliverability by even just 2-3%, it can significantly increase your ROI.
But considering smart filtering systems employed by mailbox and Internet service providers, achieving high deliverability rates is not easy.
