I wondered about that too and looked into it.  I now can't find the references 
I found, either in my browser history or by re-searching, but iirc, 
Apple[-related] and LibreOffice forum posts suggested it's to do with:

LO:  MS Word does it, so LO does it / because fields in the document may be 
automatically updated prior to printing

Apple: Pages documents include a "last printed" property which gets updated 
when the doc is printed - which suggests there's no option in that case.

Not sure of the accuracy of either report...

Best wishes,
Gareth
