Linux development today is mostly funded by big businesses and
governments.
Large enterprises have tight controls over email for security, legal, and
business
continuity reasons.  Those controls could break down if MTA's are installed
by
default without explicit action by administrators.    One consequence is a
move
away from using email for status reports (cron, logwatch) towards job
management
tools that provide resource management and scheduling as well as logging
and
status reporting.

Maybe Fedora will need small business and hobbyist spins.
