A target device with a network interface already has to have a "management
infrastructure", regardless of whether or not SendTargets is part of the
iSCSI protocol.  The IP-ness of the device requires that the user be able to
configure IP addresses, masks, gateway's, DNS servers (possibly) and there's
also the configuration of a target name, should a user want to change the
target's default name.
