I think this is a good feature. I like to have a history of what I've said. I also like to have the option to control that history, i.e., delete it if I don't want it anymore.
If you are using a work provided phone, and work provided cellular service, and you are sending SMS texts to family and friends you are, technically, at the mercy of what the company wants to do with that data. I have my own hosted exchange server and my own smartphone (and always have) for the simple reason I like to use my phone to stay personally and professionally connected and don't want my personal life at the mercy of an employer. (I do accept a cell phone subsidy from my employer to compensate for the portion of the phone usage that relates to work.)
I almost consider the separation of work and personal life a little like the constitution's provision for separation of Church and State - guard it at all costs - even if it means I have to buy my own hardware!
Ultimately, if you are worried about an exchange server synchronizing your SMS's, then either don't send them using that system or go out and get your own phone/phone service.
