Yes. I recall that the feeling at the time was that people didn't want to have a terminfo library linked into the main binary and all the modules just for the sake of a terminfo module, and to avoid potential conflicts in termcap handling. That's why tigetstr isn't sought. Since -ltermcap here is really ncurses, that doesn't bother me. I have no ideas on how to handle it without individual library linking.
