 Because they are Unix tools, i.e. they do one thing and do it well.
 The netcat utility, as you say, has a 'server mode'. But clients and
servers aren't the same thing. Yup, I went there: netcat is bloated.

 The real question is, why do the tcpsvd and udpsvd applets rely on
sys/sysinfo.h ? The upstream programs at http://smarden.org/ipsvd/
do not.
