It's reasonably common. In Debian, for example, texinfo is not
one of the essential packages. On many non-GNU environments such
as AIX and HP-UX, 'makeinfo' is not available unless you build and
install it yourself. And for the GNU project, 'makeinfo' isn't
listed as one of the standard utilities that Makefiles can assume:

If the the installer could obtain some compensating advantage by
being forced to install 'makeinfo' to get the style they prefer,
it might be worth the hassle. But there doesn't seem to be any
such advantage. So why not use 'sed'? It avoids the hassle entirely.
