Also it seems obvious that the ability to feed arbitrary text to MTA is a security and administrative risk, even if only root
has the permission to do that.

I don't see why there is any fresh risk exposure here. The root user can already feed arbitrary text to the MTA, even via their crontab if they like. So no new ability is being granted. I'll have to think about the other complaint. I believe this behavior comes from the original design of the program. Perhaps it's not the best solution, but I'm not yet on board with the alternative that you describe or another alternative.

I also think that the security risk does not seem serious; nevertheless, current behaviour at least appears counter-intuitive to me...
