`wget` instead (or in addition to) `curl` for HTTP API examples?

Should the HTTP API examples which are currently given based on `curl` be given instead based on `wget`?

The rationale here is that `wget` is pre-installed while `curl` often is not installed by default. Particularly is `wget` part of `busybox` and thus out-of-the-box available in Docker base distros like `Alpine Linux`.
