It would have been possible but it would have required a trade off against the other data in the message; however, the goal of GPS is to provide accurate position data, not to provide convenient "calendar time" to individuals. Which is why they spent so lavishly on high precision correction parameters and so sparsely on low precision time of calendar parameters.
