You are right in general, except one small factor. We are talking about 
bootstrap.
CVS is used by many as the one of the ways to get the sources to the freshly
installed system to recompile to the last available source. It will 
become inconvenient
to do it through the process of installing some ports for that. 
Especially if corresponding
ports would require some other ports as dependences.
