I think you are misreading the OP's meaning. You can send mail without
using sendmail.

Obviously.
But what has that got to do with desktops or laptops?

I think he meant to contrast desktops to servers. With servers there is a more obvious reason to set up sendmail for multiuser/multi-MUA use. On desktops some people might prefer to configure their MUA(s) to speak SMTP directly with an ISP or 3rd party relay, but the preference is more likely due to the nicer fill-in-the-form configuration interface instead of the overall functionality.
