Your request is close to: "why don't those RH guys ship it preconfigured
as a open mail relay".
No believe me, the way it is shipped currently is good. For an
experienced admin. it is very easy to make it listen to addresses
different from the loopback address. And you need to configure it anyway
to make it work, not?

What I don't like however is the movestuff patch. The sendmail
distribution has its configuration/settings file at much more convenient
places.
