You are kind of missing the point of a machine with a network, automated

Users don't need to sit in front of every machine they have for it to

around the world when you'd present that pop-up that he'll never see in
some window manager he's not running. Messages you want should come to
you, rather than having to do the reverse.
Once you're beyond the typical desktop use case, then yes, an MTA
probably makes sense. But that's not an argument for an MTA in the
default desktop install.
OK, if you really are so elitist that you think typical users can't
figure out how to use standard programs, consider the case where you
install the software for one of your incapable friends or family members
and you'd like those impending failure warnings to come to you since the
user won't understand them anyway.
