Linux/UNIX are built around the idea of small programs that are the best tool possible for one small job. Due to that, when faced with various computing problems, there's often "a command for that". The problem is, there are so many of these commands they don't always get installed or included on different systems.

The main idea behind static binary repos like these are to have fast, "it just works" access to small, particularly useful niche tools.
