I think the reason is that the file timestamps can change for unrelated reasons:
adding a new permalink or fixing a typo may not be worth of adding the
"updated Feb 16, 2017" note on the page.  Wordpress and the like probably
have a similar behavior, you just don't see it because it's hidden in a
database rather than part of a text file. :)
