The use cases for `puppet apply` tend to be different from the use cases for agent / master. If I wanted to try out Puppet for a scenario in which agent / master was the appropriate choice, or especially if the agent / master setup itself were part of what I wanted to evaluate, then `puppet apply` would simply not be a good alternative. As light-duty as webrick may be, it has the virtue of being extremely easy get up and running. I'm not specially tied to webrick itself, but I think Puppet benefits from having a lightweight, out-of-the-box server option.
