I was baiting you :-)  The HTTP hop from end user to Gmail's webmail
server is not SMTP, so it's not covered by RFC 2821.

Here's something similar.  When I log into a timeshare and send mail
with Pine, you don't get to see the ssh hop from my Mac either.

I agree that it is extremely desirable to have the originating IP
and like you I wish Gmail would provide it.  I just don't think
it's a standards violation.
