They may present in your system, but you just don’t notice how they are used. It is true for Linux and for Windows both.
And that’s what dependency resolving is for.

This directory contains source code for arpwatch and arpsnmp, tools
that monitors ethernet or fddi activity and maintain a database of
ethernet/ip address pairings. It also reports certain changes via
email.

But yeah, it doesn’t scream “Use Me!” to a desktop user.

In general arp just works, those tools are to make it work in a way it wasn’t designed to, for the most part.
