Actually, SimpleMacIT was for tests that:
* can share an instance
* can run in parallel

The constraint to only require a connector is the only way those two things can
be achieved, because the only way to implement both of these is to run a
separate instance in the build (start at pre-integration-test phase, stop at
post-integration-test phase), independent of the parallel test execution during
the integration-test phase of the build lifecycle. To achieve this, the
SimpleMacIT tests cannot access MAC-specific APIs, and can only operate as a
normal client, from a connector.
So, yes, it's technically true that this was the goal, but the
[~billie.rinaldi]'s interpretation of the javadoc is also correct, because that
is the constraint that is needed to achieve those goals. (See ACCUMULO-1996).
