That question is pretty easy to answer:
The qmail-configuration can be read an evaluated *without* a parcer. This
makes it easy to read and write the configuration and it also reduces
the risk of errors.

If you created a configuration tool for an MTA you'd be looking for
something that will interact well with you tool and probably you wouldn't
look to carefully how well that program does its job as an MTA.
