Because it leads to LESS trouble than putting it in $HOME. $HOME could
be on separate servers for diffrent user groups and/or it could be on
a server(s) that is less stable than the mailhost.
My experience is very much "more trouble". For example, having the
mailhost up while the home directories are down just confuses people,
and doens't provide any useful service. The server $HOME is on
shouldn't matter to much of anything.
