Not true.  Sendmail by default isn't something that is useful for Fedora
users in general and those who need a MTA can install it later.   Less
resource usage, less disk space wasted (yes, this does matter for various
users still including but not limited to cloud and minimal servers) and
users wouldn't have to deal with long term sendmail issues like severe
bootup delay to a minor network misconfiguration
