If you think of it that narrowly, then you are correct. But if you
take it as an example on how to set up using a smart host with sasl,
then you have a wider audience.
For that matter, you get people like me, that 3 different smart
hosts, depending on the email address doing the sending. Then there
is the general relay host for the mail that does not match those
rules. Because this setup is on my home network, I can not send the
mail directly from here. For some reason the DSL IP addresses are on
the DUN list. ;)

I was just generally referring to the issue of smarthost = gmail which
has nothing to do with SASL as far as I could imagine. For that matter,
smarthost setup really has nothing to do with SASL.
I am definitely certain that few can match your ingenuity if you are
doing 3 smarthost routing methods based upon sender e-mail address
because you already know that while you are providing testimony to
postfix's flexibility, it was not really designed to scratch that itch.
I can appreciate that it is probably not the easiest thing to get DSL IP
addresses, especially dynamically assigned addresses out of Taiwan to be
recognized as smtp sources these days... even if you get the e-mails
delivered, I would suspect that the spam score would make it somewhat
difficult.
