Because it requires the use of messages, which implicitly requires using seperate threads. This is not feasable for low-memory systems. If you check out my nanonet branch [1], there's a monolithic stack that does Ethernet/IPV4/UDP/CoAP in about 5k RAM, with room for improvement. If netapi would be used even just for CoAP, that stack would unnecessarily be forced to put CoAP in its own thread, with all the memory implications. I'd like to avoid that.
