I guess that it's mostly because attribute setting isn't portable across platforms (SysUtils.FileSetAttr always returns -1 on all Unix platforms and Dos.SetFAttr is simply ignored there). DOS-like (which includes Windows and OS/2) attributes are partly emulated for functions reading attributes, but their changes cannot be emulated meaningfully (well, it might be possible the other way round, i.e. emulating the more complex/complete solution for writing and the simpler one for reading, but the usefulness would be probably questionable.
