By the same logic you could argue that a text editor is not required
for a bare minimum --- namely, you can always use cat and echo from the
command line to "edit" the config files.

The point of the text editor in a minimal installation is to make life
easier for a sysadmin. The point of NetworkManager is the same --- it
is included so that you don't have to "just set your ifcfg-eth0
scripts".

HTH, :-)
