Why do server daemons use startup scripts?

Why do server daemons use startup scripts?

Why do we the user (or init at startup) use scripts with start and stop arguments to start and stop servers instead of starting or stopping it explicitly like we do normal programs?

Also, whats a convenient way of finding out where the actual binary for a server is instead of just the startup script location?
