You are taking a narrow view. Not every Exim is configured to use
maildirquota; not every Exim is configured to use maildir; not every
Exim has Exim quota checking enabled; some systems rely on system
quotas; ...

In other words, the whole thing is highly configuration dependent.
That's why I'd rather export the decision to some other program.
