I'll throw a third one into the mix: lazygit. It's a TUI client that has similar functionality built in. (See [1]) As for why this isn't built in: there are a lot of subtleties to how exactly it works, and people might not agree on these. For example, git-absorb seems to have certain design goals that I don't agree with; I have written a longish document about that if you're interested.
