I don't actually remember now, but it's possible that when core.async was created we were still trying to accommodate an older version of Java before some of those existed. That's not an issue now as we only need to support Java 1.8+. So, I don't know of any reason these wouldn't be an option. Would be happy to see a core.async issue and/or patch (may need to sign the CA and become the contributor first).
