Yes but non technical users wouldn't care to navigate the UI you are proposing either. The entire proposal only satisfies a very small small niche for users receiving root mail and want to control exactly how they get it during installation itself.
Why would they not care? The UI will make them aware of something they probably is not aware of. I can not see that lost emails is a good thing. Better to make the user aware of that that mail exist, and make it easy for them to receive it.
I'm sorry but I do not see the reasoning behind the assumption: non-technical implies "we need to protect them from good practice". What does removing an MTA (IOW system mail) serve? If the argument is saving resources, then one could counter argue a non-technical user is less likely to care about "saving system resources".
More to the point, I find it counter productive to _remove_ important debugging resources/tools irrespective of the technical proficiency of the user of the system. I outlined my issue in this post:

Anyone care to comment on this?
