I don't care personally because I build everything myself, but what about
other people using postfix with dovecot's SASL?
As Wietse Himself says (in SASL_README):
People who go to the trouble of installing Postfix may have the expectation that Postfix is more secure than some other mailers. The Cyrus SASL library contains a lot of code. With this, Postfix becomes as secure as other mail systems that use the Cyrus SASL library. Dovecot provides an alternative that may be worth considering.
Note that Dovecot SASL works across a socket, not by linking in a library.
