I believe the real reason is that they're utterly pointless. How does a mail server know that it has delivered the message to its final destination ? The fact that it has written the message to a file doesn't necessarily mean that it has been delivered - the delivery system might then rely on another server doing something unpleasant with fetchmail, for example. Just because a mail server has done all that it needs to do with a message does not mean that it has been "delivered".
