Can it not be (a) bug(s) that so much requires mail be installed?
This is part of the legacy of *nix, systems require an MTA installed even if not used.
It happends because there are applications that are only able to deliver mail with /usr/sbin/sendmail.
Yes, I see it as a bug, No.. it is not easy to fix.
That's not really true, most desktop systems do not need an MTA, e.g. Ubuntu has hasn't included a MTA in their desktop default install for years and Fedora has taken steps to remove it as well [*]. Even from the command line mutt or mailx nowadays support SMTP directly.
