No, that's not the real problem. There are two problems:
(1) What should Emacs do when the user asks it to send an email?
(2) What should Emacs do when the user asks it to report a bug?
This series of questions is appropriate in scenario 1, but not in
scenario 2. (Especially with `emacs -Q', which causes an
already-configured Emacs to explicitly ignore its configuration.) The
fact that the two scenarios are related is an implementation detail of
report-emacs-bug. The argument Drew is making would disappear
instantly if report-emacs-bug sent an HTTP POST request, for instance.
