Firstly, your utility requires API-keys, which have problems getting them.
Customers who own AS do not know how to get these keys or went too
long to explain what and what they are for.
Therefore, it is easier and faster for me, a freelancer, to use public
shareware services.

Secondly, the size of the package files.

# pkg install net/py-ripe.atlas.tools
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...

All repositories are up to date.
The following 33 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):

New packages to be INSTALLED:
...
Number of packages to be installed: 33

The process will require 124 MiB more space.

While the biggest utility is lynx has a size of 5.43MiB

Utilities for simplicity and compactness will be available, comparable
to mtr, then we will use them.

In the meantime, mtr, winmtr, whois, telnet, dig and public LG are the
basic tools for measurements.
