libdnet IP sending versus raw sockets

Nmap uses libdnet's interface for sending raw Ethernet frames (using eth_send with a handle from eth_open_cached in tcpip.cc). But when sending raw IP packets it uses raw sockets instead of libdnet's raw IP interface (ip_open, ip_checksum, ip_send, and others). Is there a reason for this, or is it not really important?
