I think it has more to do with having a choice of different packages that do the same job. After all, some people like Sendmail, some like Postfix, and some like other MTAs.

I am guessing the whole point of the change was to make it possible to stick in any number of possibly incompatible packages and not have to answer for an unusable install. All that under excuse of "security".
