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.

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.

I dispute this. Out of the box, sendmail could both deliver local and send remote mail from processes like logwatch and cron.

The remote delivery 'only' took changing /etc/aliases.

That is the sort of behaviour, at least with local delivery I would like to see.
