That's an odd answer to "why not have it actually be vi?". Sure, nvi is
a vi-clone, but it's not the actual vi. Whether that really matters
much to anyone is a different question.
It's worth noting that nvi was the package that previously filled the
role for providing /usr/bin/vi, before vim-tiny replaced it.
