Because some other acceptor member functions and some constructors
implicitly call listen().
If you've interested in the implementation details, you can try and
step into acceptor implementation and see what happens there exactly.

sock is connection socket, acceptor is "listening socket"

You can access their native handles (socket handles) by calling
native() member function.
