It is just a test case and brk is the guts of malloc.

I have. While that is less code is
(a) less portable.
(b) Much more intrusive, when you consider device drivers, and
other code that knows the physical layout of memory.
The downside of not using segment registers is that you loose the use
of a register. But generally that is much less intrusive.
So having a relocatable problem looks like a much less intrusive
change for some things, and the overhead is not too bad.
