I believe if you search the archives, you'll find that this particular issue has come up before. Regardless of other technical reasons mentioned elsewhere in this thread, I seem to recall that the real root of the problem is that Postfix's license doesn't qualify as DFSG-free, and is therefore not appropriate for inclusion as the default MTA. Specifically, it's the IBM Public License Version 1.0. Precisely how it fails the DFSG is something for others to specify, but that's my recollection.
