Any reason for not wanting to do it via mail option.

Several threads on that.

In person application you require an appointment

YES:  Its the US Embassy 
But renewing ur passport is not an option to get an appt> 
freind of mine did it 2 months ago,  he just walked in... no appt,
gave another reason ( he said to do a report of birth abroad) and he was allowed in 
the lady than still processed him although he had to fill out another form

took 31 days from that day till thye called him and told him new one was ready

By renewing in person, you keep ur current passport
if u mail it in, u need mail ur current one, so ur without a passport till ur new one arrives

Walk INS not permitted for non essential purposes.

Perhaps you friend was lucky.

Link specifically states appointment required....

 

"Appointments are REQUIRED for all non-emergency services and are only made via the website, not by email. Please review the information below, and note that if no appointments are available online, it means we have no appointments available"
