In short, "you don't need it, so don't use it".
They said NM is more a desktop-oriented tool, already had privilege escalation issues in the past (I didn't search if they're right), has too many dependencies (such as wpa_supplicant and avahi, which are, of course, also forbidden), needs extra mechanisms (PAM ? Polkit ?) to avoid users changing its settings, needs D-bus just to work, so it is too much complex just to set static IP addresses on network interfaces. They said multiples administrator actions, and potentially human errors, to set it up, may be a security risk...
