Precisely because the majority of applications *does* use some form
of networking (including nameservice, etc, albeit indirectly through
the nameservice switch)

The biggest issue with is with libnsl's huge datasize (50K-70K) and
possibly the longer startup times for short-lived programs like *grep.
