Actually that's a good point, specially since 90% of people, specially ones working on web graphics, never use Photoshop for what it was designed for: print graphics and a large majority use it to add captions to cat pictures instead.
This arguably helped to popularize Photoshop so much that it became a verb.
Photoshop was created to handle graphics destined for print, part of the original Holy Trinity: QuarkXpress, Illustrator and Photoshop, so its CMYK colour separation capacities are simply wasted for someone working strictly on web graphics.
