I don’t want email to be accessible to those services. I don’t want those services to use email at all.
Comment on Why do so many services require email configuration?

If you’re self hosting, the email service only needs to be accessible to those services. Set up a postfix container if you don’t want these messages going out.
You can read them locally, or configure postfix to forward them to some other host if you desire.

Then you’re free to patch it out.

Why do you assume everyone you interact with is a software developer?

I don’t think that assumption was inherent in the comment
If you want an unpopular feature that doesn’t exist on an open source platform sometimes your only options are to code it, or ask someone else to. The skillset of the feature requester doesn’t change that

To be fair, you are on a Self-hosting community but maybe read up the wiki or file the issue to suggest an option to make it not required on their git repo? 🤷
Otherwise, I'm not sure what else are we suppose to say

I’m starting to wonder if a mailpit instance is a bad idea. Just a page you go to where any email goes, make sure it’s not externally accessible.
