Why does fsck.xfs not do what xfs_repair -n does?

Dear XFS dev crew,
> fsck.xfs(8)
>         fsck.xfs - do nothing, successfully
>         If you wish to check the consistency of an XFS filesystem, or repair a damaged or corrupt XFS filesystem, see xfs_repair(8).

So there's a FS check command that does not work as with all the other filesystems. Instead of checking the FS, it tells you to use xfs_repair both for - XFS repair.. and XFS check. Whereas in the man page of
> xfs_repair - repair an XFS filesystem
it doesn't tell you right at the top that xfs_repair can check XFS. Instead
> *       -n     No modify mode. Specifies that xfs_repair should […]  *scan  the  filesystem*

Is this imperative? It does not make any sense to me apart from the quirk.
