If you make it too easy to set up, you make it ... too easy for spammers and other "marketing specialists" to start sending e-mail, I think is the reason. Right now, they have to be technical (or at least pay $$ to tech people) to get that going, and it does slim down the numbers a little. Getting the software lined up is the easy part, truth be told. It's the anti-spam/malware/anti-relay etc etc that is the challenge. And most big Email companies weigh how long you've been around, so you also have to be patient for your reputation to get high enough not to be in people's junk boxes all the time.
