Really? In the whole world of computing you don't see this is a tiny tiny minority use case? It's so small it's not even really an edge case, it fell off the edge years ago. Even if we look at just linux derived systems, no Android system even has root enabled by default, let alone an MTA. It has a modern way of informing me of problems rather than sending me useless spam, without notifications of such.
No, loosing important mails is not a minority use case.
Clearly it is. Most users don't know about this behavior. And it's also not done at all on iOS, Android, Windows, OS X. And it's highly questionable on desktop linux whether it's done or even needed.
I do not understand your comparison with iOS, OS X, Windows, etc. We are not in a race with any of them. We simply want an operating system that is free (open) and lets us be in control of our computing needs. See the 4 `f's in http://fedoraproject.org/en/about-fedora. None of them mention anything about comparisons with other operating systems. Please do not fall into that hole; if I wanted either of those, I would use them, not Fedora.
