Yes they could have just defined their own global operator new/delete to have a micro-runtime. Same as you'd do if you were doing a kernel in C++. Super easy, barely an inconvenience

Changing global new/delete is a non-starter in a reusable library. Allocator is a much more localized change and roughly the same amount of work.
