i don't see how this does anything i can't just do using initD, which routes the pipes to sockets automatically.

What's the actual benefit of using this, compared to just using init and taking care of that little html myself?

I've been linux for about 10 years and I would have no idea to do what you just said. The benefit is obviously that it is extremely straightforward to use.
