Because it's far more than is needed.  I use masqmail which meets all my
needs.  Postfix is easier to configure than Exim (I've used both) but still
too difficult for the average desktop user. Masqmail is dead simple.  The
average user is going to send external mail via their ISP's SMTP server, so
they don't need remote mailing capability, in which case they can use esmtp
for local mail.
