Perhaps they have their reasons, I would not be so sure they are
the right reasons, but if their implementations handles this poorly,
so be it. It *should* work well (potentially quite a lot better
than SMTP, as the recipient list gets really large, unless the list
expansion is done by Postfix via a :include: local alias).
So my guess is that the Mailman developers don't understand Postfix
well enough to use it properly, but the converse might also be true.
