Why?
I agree something should always provide /bin/sh.
I do not understand why the default system shell should be on the system always.

The only argument you've given that I understand is that no one wants
to do the work necessary to guarantee that /bin/sh is always present
and that the default system shell is not essential.
If that's the answer, that's a perfectly fine answer, but *say that*, don't just make assertions.
