There is plenty of usefulness to Busybox that is not Linux-dependent

One great example is Busybox ash, which is the only lightweight
POSIX-compatible sh in existence that supports UTF-8 interactive line
editing. I often wish it were available as a small portable standalone
package that I could quickly compile and install anywhere...
===========================================
which indicates that you have in fact missed the point, you can in fact
compile busybox as a static standalone ash, simply enable only ash, compile,
link static and rename the binary.
