I've done what you described with Rust and 1 dependency. The reason to not do that is because TLS is a pain in the ass.
But more to your point, I think what makes this httpd scheme especially attractive (for C users especially) is that you can't try to "optimize" anything. There is no temptation to lock/mutex/cache yourself into more problems. Its 1 process that then dies. Even 'free' becomes optional in some cases.
