This is such an obvious excuse. You get the config right once and you've solved a problem forever. It is, how do you say, very "scalable" in time.

If it's really that simple then why isn't a good config just built in?

Because good configs are personal, not global. An email workflow for an accountant would be very different than an email workflow for an HR manager and a CEO.

Because it depends on how you want to use email. eg I have emails which are sent to my [e-mail] being put to a label "subscriptions", but obviously not everyone wants to use it like this, in which case why make it default?
