sorry for the late reply, it has been discussed over and over and the decision

Too bad.  While it’s a liability for logging in, it’s a great tool for testing 
remote services like HTTP, SMTP, IMAP, JetDirect printers, etc.

SNIP

looks like it is possible to keep the telnet applet only, not telnetd. if this 
is not wanted for size, is there an alternative to interact with a port 
pushing/receiving characters?

There is a closed (not merged) PR for the packages repo that adds 
telnet-bsd package, which is a commonly used telnet client, and is 
independent from Busybox. The code is still available, and should work fine.

Although we should be honest about it: the problem isn’t the host with the 
telnet client; it’s the one with the telnet server.

Too bad.  While it’s a liability for logging in, it’s a great tool for testing 
remote services like HTTP, SMTP, IMAP, JetDirect printers, etc.
