That’s because they’re not GNU coreutils, they’re BSD coreutils, which are spartan by design. (FWIW, this is one of my theories for why Linux/GNU dominated BSD: the default user experience of the former is just so much richer, even though the system architecture of the latter is arguably superior.)
