Hello, and welcome!
Some projects may have valid reasons to prefer a tool set you do not.
- I found this thread on the NetBSD pkgsrc mailing list that may interest you, it starts here.
- There are Fossil and Git mirrors available for you to use, so you can avoid CVS. See this and that.
I don't use NetBSD, so cannot comment on the project's choices. I use OpenBSD instead, and for that project I perceive the key reasons to use CVS are commit management procedures, complexity of migration to new tech, and risk avoidance. A recent discussion thread starts
here.
