I assume you're looking at the approx(8) man page as shown
here: <https://manpages.debian.org/bookworm/approx/approx.8.en.html>

This is upstream's man page, dated May 2011.  It's clearly not going
to be *literally* true on every system, as there are plenty of
alternatives to inetd (xinetd, systemd, and so on).  One may read it
as meaning "inetd or something which fulfills the same role".

I would not bother filing any cosmetic bug reports against a 12-year-old
upstream man page.
