I don't think that is true at all. Personally, I use it to get the reports from smartd, from btrfs scrub cron jobs, other cron jobs, the changelogs for updated packages get mailed there, which I really like (happens only with certain packages). It certainly makes my life easier. I imagine a lot of people on a desktop use it, admittedly not everyone. I do like the proposal to replace the current default MTA with a more lightweight system for desktops, but to remove it completely doesn't seem like a good idea to me.
