Maybe because it was not a common feature in the market. In Windows for example it's even more of a mess because there's a ton of places for autostarting software to run from. There this excellent tool from sysinternals called autostarts but it's not an OS feature despite sysinternals now being owned by Microsoft. And in Linux? No great way of managing systemd via the GUI either afaik. And Apple has always been one for hiding technical complexity from the user. It's only that security became prio #1 that they're doing this. 2010 Apple would not have presented the user with these popups for example.
