While that's true for unauthorized programs, SDSF needs to runs authorized, and there's actually a fair amount of "special" stuff going on under the covers. Your more typical authorized program cannot interact with the user via ISPF services as SDSF does. It takes a lot of work (design and programming) to allow that while maintaining system integrity.
That "special stuff" is primarily mitigation of exposures in an old Field-Developed-Product (FDP) design that used a so-called "magic" SVC. Programs written today would likely not be designed that way.
