Because that's the whole point - and what the I in IDE stands for - of an Integrated development environment as opposed to a tricked-out text editor.
"Integrated" doesn't mean it should include all the features under the sun in it. Only the features you need to produce code (edit, code complete, build, deploy, debug).

Some people consider Testing, collaboration, version management, etc. to be fundamental in the software development cycle.
Testing, for example, takes as much time/bulk of effort as the code writing in plenty of projects.
I am not claiming the "integrated" approach is the only way, but some so-called "IDEs" are really "IPDEs" (Integrated Partial Development Environments).
I normally don't care much for microsoft products, but their development environments are top notch.
