How could the early Unix OS comprise so few lines of code?
Not only early Unix; look at the original inet_addr implementation [0]. It accepts not only "0x" but also just "x" as the 16-base prefix, it doesn't really care about the numbers overflowing, and it parses 09 as equal to 011 (which is decimal 9). And the less said about the coding style, the better.

Backward Compatibility, Go 1.21, and Go 2
No need to guess. My man page for inet_aton says it comes from 4.3BSD: https://github.com/dank101/4.3BSD-Reno/blob/master/lib/libc/...
The earlier inet_addr from 4.2BSD has the same logic: https://github.com/dank101/4.2BSD/blob/master/lib/libc/inet/...
inet_aton and inet_addr parses addresses the obvious way. Using something like strtoul or especially sscanf would be stilted. The beauty of C pointers is that it makes simple parsing tasks very easy--perhaps too easy.

There is no such thing as a “glibc based alpine image”
It probably made sense in 1983.
