Well, let's go out one step form Fedora desktop though, to the Fedora cloud
and Fedora server targets.

In cloud deployments, email notifications are a definite non-starter,
because no one is going to ever log into individual machines to check, and
outgoing mail from cloud networks is likely to just be dropped.

On servers, an MTA is often appropriate, but traditional servers are built
to fit their niche and their specific needs. There, you have a kickstart
file or hopefully at least a hand-built checklist for deployment, and
"install MTA and configure for the relay environment used on my network"
should be on the list.
