The argument is that "you don't run a SQL engine from a servlet container, why should you run Solr that way?" Currently 5.x does have a war file in the webapps directory you can use. As Alexandre says, though, people are being encouraged to move away from that model and use the script way of doing things.
And to be clear. "The script way of doing things" still listens on a port for HTTP calls, still processes them, etc., etc., etc. Once you start it up, it's just a Solr server listening on a port, like a bunch of other services. It just doesn't need a servlet container in the middle. Or, more accurately, end users shouldn't have to care about what kind of thing Solr is using to listen.
