Because:

 - nmbd is only needed for operations in some environments, so smbd should
   not block on nmbd being ready before starting
 - nmbd *must* wait for a broadcast-capable network interface to come up
   before it's started, otherwise it will fail - so it can't use the same
   start condition smbd currently does.
