I wouldn't call Sendmail's interface "nicer". More powerful, yes, but considerably more complex.

Hm... it is complex on the server side, but it looks rather simpler for an occasional interface writer, as not every callback has to be implemented. (I say `looks' for I never actually did it :-)

libmilter is a C library intended for use in multi-threaded filters. Threading in C is never simple.

However, I doubt that the code complexity would justify the marginal operational advantages of the interface.

Only for compatibility. For example, there is a commercial antivirus product that only supports libmilter (Avira).

In addition, having, say, a native courierfilter that emulates libmilter would put Courier neatly ahead in a filtering features comparison.

Compatibility certainly would be nice. I've been meaning to write a pythonfilter that emulates milter for that purpose. I think I've got most of the required framework now (and I'll probably release 1.0 soon).
