The hostname is shown, historically, to allow you to understand on which machine you are running a command. It is oriented toward a sysadmin world, where it is common to log into many machines via telnet/rsh/ssh to perform various tasks. If we can ship default configurations that show the hostname in PS1 only for shells running on a remotely initiated connection and leave the prompt to something very short then I think that would work fine.
