For smaller communities that don't aspire to that size, it isn't an issue.

Agreed. Small membership communities could *especially* use this, because forum activity is sometimes slow, so users don't visit... which perpetuates the cycle.
It's been overlooked too long. It's one area where other forum implementations are actually better than vBulletin, and that should be corrected.
For now I am paying for the commercial version of CommBull and plan to send out a bulletin/newsletter with the latest threads. But it sure would be a lot nicer if we could set default subscriptions...
