Why doesn't it use DHCP?

The "server" in this case is extraordinarily trivial: all it needs to
be able to do is receive a DHCPINFORM message from the client and send
DHCPACK in response.

Having the same system that terminates the PPP connection also
providing DHCP service would make a lot of sense -- no extra hardware,
and a trivial amount of software; likely the same amount of software
that would have been required to add the DNS server address options to
PPP.
