There is no deficiency in omitting the installation of something that does nothing by default. To gain functionality from sendmail required the user configure it.
It delivers mail, so it certainly does something. It is not an idle process doing nothing.
Since the user needs to know enough to configure it, for it to do anything useful, there's no meaningful problem with requiring users who were going to have to configure one anyway to now install it.
A user only needs to know how to edit /etc/aliases, i.e. add a line 'root: <username>' to it, run newaliases (or something in the line of my proposal earlier), and to setup the mail client to read that mail. Not more esoteric than to setup ordinary mail.
Not having a MTA leads to lost mail, this has to be addressed and solved before the MTA is removed.
