It's probably more nuanced than what everyone else is saying. The Neural Engine compute block can change pretty significantly from one chip generation to the next, and instead of exposing the unstable raw capabilities, they use CoreML as an abstraction to keep the changes out of sight. Is it rather annoying? Yes, but it's a more stable method to keep everyone using the Neural Engine from having their software break regularly.
