I'm not sure I understand. Even at an endnode, a given email address may
resolve to more than one host via multiple MX records or multiple A/AAAA
records.

Many MTAs are both relays and endnodes.

For a start, because it is a lot of work! The data is not easily
available at the right time and place, decisions about handling multiple
hosts need to be taken, and so on. I haven't really even got time to
think about this enough to see what would have to be done in order to
implement such a feature. My guess is that it would be difficult to add
to the current code. I also think this is something of a minority
requirement.

If you mean admin gets an email for every delivery failure, that is
something most admins do NOT want.
