Because it’s a photo editing tool, not a painter. Different priorities.
Because a shape tool requires non-destructive vector layers.
…and implementing that would require a fundamental overhaul of the current vector backend from 2006.
The development of 3.0 was focused on GEGL and non-destructive editing. Working on the shape tool in parallel would’ve taken away resources and pushed back the release date even further.

No it doesn’t, why not a bitmap shape tool?
Why can a shape tool not be pixel based? There’s no intrinsic requirement for vectors.
