That only works well until the mailboxes get moved to a network mount, and one day the server gets rebooted and, for whatever reason, can't bring up the mount. Then, the mail server starts happily delivering mail and creating mailboxes on the local disk, rather than holding everything in the queue until somebody fixes things.
Automatically creating mailboxes, if they don't exist, should not be a mail server's task.
