sorry for the late reply, it has been discussed over and over and the decision

Too bad.  While it’s a liability for logging in, it’s a great tool for testing

There is a closed (not merged) PR for the packages repo that adds telnet-bsd package, which is a commonly used telnet client, and is independent from Busybox. The code is still available, and should work fine.
