Most likely they simply removed everything not necessary for the thing

Hello
I have logged in a router system which is linux.
The provider said it's based on debian OS.
But there is not any package tool in it.
root@myd-lt527:/# apt
-bash: apt: command not found
root@myd-lt527:/#
root@myd-lt527:/# dpkg
-bash: dpkg: command not found
root@myd-lt527:/#
