Couple of questions:

1) Does documenting this imply Emacs developers provide support for
it?

I don't think so, and this is AFAIK still in Beta. I think that if we're
going to add this documentation to the download page, we should mention
both.

It is indeed not (yet) a finished product.

For example, not all network tools are working. An overview I found; dated June '17:

As of Creators Update, the following tools should work:

• ping
• dig
• ifconfig
• ip link
• ip addr show
• ifconfig
• whois
• nslookup
• ip route
• ip addr add/delete

Not working:

• nmap
  
• tracepath
  
• traceroute
  
• traceroute6
  

Even so I believe it's always a good idea to offer a broad range of possibilities to get to know free software and the principles behind them.
