- Apple has never pursued (and has on occasion outright spurned) the "serious

Apple's traditional advantages are simply not applicable.
Frankly, if "mail server for thousands of users who depend on instant
delivery and high availability" is your use case, a Mac OS X Server box is
just the wrong solution. This is not a failure of Apple OS design, it's a
failure to pick the right tool for the job.
Although I suspect much of what you say is accurate, I will note that
Mr. Jobs went on and on during one of his keynotes (on their web site)
about Xserve (comparing it to a stack of Dells in a rack) and showing
a picture of a something nicknamed the "aquarium", which was a relatively
large cluster of Xserves. (The aquarium looked like a "serious production
environment" to me.)
