Agree here, I was concerned about the IMS when I first purchased the car due to all the fear mongering on this site, but after checking it over myself and pulling the oil filter multiple times, with the mileage it became far less of a concern. Though I see how folks who are buying can be nervous, as I was there. Ultimately I agree with your stance, if a car was sitting its at risk due to the (probably) lack of oil changes.
