The home routers and such need snazzy (?) web interfaces to configure because they don't have screens.  Configuring the network interface on a squeezebox by using the screen and remote is what fits the device.

The squeezebox doesn't run a web server, so why add one just to configure a few network parameters?

Hrrm.. other than the network configuration (which, obviously, is
tricky to do from a network: routers have an advantage here, but
they're designed to packet-munge), what's the problem with the
slimserver configuration of the squeezeboxes?

There really isn't anything -on- the squeezebox to configure other than
network settings....  Everything else is server controlled.
