I suppose they can ensure all the man pages they ship conform to just the subset of troff that their man-page processor can handle, but what about man pages from others. Either users with a ~/man, or things installed under /usr/local, etc. Presumably, you'll be able to say "This is no good, I want groff installed and man to use it, like $DEITY intended"?
