Not sure why not. The particular script or hook in question is trivially
simple -- it's not like it requires writing hundreds of lines of code or
anything like that.
Unix users commonly automate various tasks with a few lines of shellscript,
and they don't complain that the task is therefore "not supported by my
OS/shell". I would say this situation is analogous.

Actually, one of the things that makes mutt suck less than other MUAs is that
it *doesn't* have additional hundreds of little-used "features" to cause
bloat, bugs, user confusion, and UI complication for no real added benefit.
As a related example, I'm still disappointed SMTP support got added.
