Actually, working by default for things like smartctl is also really

to begin with.
But see, it doesn't "work by default". By default (with sendmail) mail
is just dropped in /var/spool/mail/root. The user is given no hint,
documentation, or otherwise notification that they may want to configure
some email client to subscribe to this, which is quite difficult as a
normal user to subscribed to /var/spool/mail/root . Things certainly
don't "work by default".
It isn't so much that things don't work by default as that you are
discouraging/preventing anyone from logging in as root without fixing
everything that needs to change if they don't.
