From an idealist perspective I would like such devices to submit mail

sure that will fly as there seems to be a lot of mindshare in that world
around submitting mail using port 25. More generally, there's a lot of
preference for using as little configuration as possible, especially
per-device configuration.
It's fairly common for nascent efforts to seek ways to simplify their
work and operation, on the claim that they have a simpler environment
and won't (ever) need the additional mechanisms. In those early days,
the appeal of the simplifications is understandably strong and even
seems reasonable, within their immediate framework. However their
assessment of the future is almost always wrong.
