Because it is equivalent to C-x C-p C-w, as you so pointedly mention.

Such actions are not so frequent as to warrant a command of their own,
and a command will be pointless absent a default keybinding, while our
keymaps are filled to repletion such that introducing a new binding
shorter than "C-x C-p C-w" will assuredly bring on weeks upon weeks of
gut-wrenching hairsplitting on which existing bindings it is to replace.
