Because mutt has lots of input from sysadmins, whereas most mail
agents are trying to be easy to use for people who don't read
manuals.

Imagine if the interface for a CNC mill was developed by
Microsoft with the goal that no user could ever cut
themselves on sharp edges. Every edge will be chamfered or
radiused, and you'll never be able to get two pieces to line 
up next to each other seamlessly.

The UNIX philosophy is that at any moment, a user might change into a
sysadmin or a programmer, so make those tools available if they
know how to invoke them.
