By default, it does not.  It only does that if you set VERBOSESTATUS.

I would prefer deleting the VERBOSESTATUS parts completely,
strictly enforcing the principle "daily(8) only produces output
when something unexpected happens", and tell people to use
daily.local(8) if they want to run df or netstat.  The code
for those two parts is totally trivial and riddled with
choices that look like personal preferences, like the one
you suggest to change.

I dimly remember that some developers wanted to keep VERBOSESTATUS,
though (i might misremember), so we'll probably keep it.  If we
keep it, i absolutely don't care what it does.  So i'll neither OK
this nor object to it.

Yours,
  Ingo
