Shouldn't be too hard to get programmers willing to write that code for a business. And then break that cost down with other businesses. Service model for you, go earn some money.
Open Source is of course, NOT a solution. Any corporation that isn't run by some weird eccentrics is going to avoid paying a code cowboy team to customize apps of all kinds, in all places in the business, and then pay their legal people overtime to make sure they are in compliance with three or six different open source-ish licensing models.
Don't redistribute your changes, and you are not in violation of any licenses. GPL/BSD/MPL are _all_ about distribution of the source, not about its use.
You just happen to be wrong about the requirements of the licenses.
If processors weren't a prime example of market lock-in there would be no reason to use any x86 (even AMD) over Power, or over 68k back in the day. Check sandpile.org and see if you can made any sense in the instruction set.
Price. For people for whom form factor is not a big deal, even the Mac mini is expensive. And if it is important, the Via mini ITX boards come much cheaper (sub 200 USD including monitor and keyboard).
You can always configure your mailserver to submit to your smarthost on port 587. If you want to connect to port 25, buy business class service with a static IP and no blocked ports.
Do you mind offering to process a million messages a minute for us on SA for free (we do about 1.1M, with about 91% rejection based on DNSBLs, non existent users and some other checks)? ISP blocks on port 25 would help reduce that load on our servers by about 50% or so.
You can always run your own smarthost with a static IP and submit on port 587, as a good internet user does.

I don't think you quite get the size of the Indian labour pool available.
A lot of companies are opening offices in the so called class 'B' cities. These cities have about half the population of the popular class 'A' cities in similar categories, and are about 7 times the number. So instead of one office with 1000 people, you have 7 offices with 500 people each in a radius of 150 km from the main office.
Companies have not yet even started expanding to the smaller cities and towns.
Are you saying that RPM is flawed because it doesn't automatically handle dependencies? That is like saying that deb is flawed because it doesn't handle dependencies.
Keep in mind that the Indian IT potential has not yet been fully tapped. Currently companies are going to smaller cities, and there are _lots_ of those. And then there are towns....
Some people don't want to lug it around all day. I would like to move my system around once in three months, and use it as a regular desktop otherwise.

That... will teach them... not to mess with the force.

587/tcp is the mail submission port. I recommend moving to that.
Spam is about consent, not content. What about spam which does not ask for money? Phishing?

Unix has cfengine and radmind. They do a _bit_ more than SUS.

Agreed.
What about a host at a datacentre leased by a company to do this? Particularly if the management of the box is outsourced to a third party?
Again, the question is who has final control over the system according to the contracts.
Any system where the end customer does not have control of his own data is bad.
Any system where the end user has control of his data is good, regardless of where it is physically located.
Home or work environments?

Dunno, would a city with a population of about 8 million be considered big enough? Or perhaps a city with a population of 18.3 million?
Nah, you could probably fit two of them on the palm of your hand.
Visibility factor where? I see every Tom, Dick and Harry here having a cellphone, but practically no one has an IPod.
