    It's a developper choice, it depends also on which desktop environment you are using. Ubuntu uses GNOME as default, GNOME developpers have not considered it a need.

    Google: linux create time file

    You can't - it isn't stored anywhere. Files have a last-modified
    time (shown by "ls -l"), a last-accessed time (shown by "ls -lu")
    and an inode change time (shown by "ls -lc"). The latter is often
    referred to as the "creation time" - even in some man pages -
    but that's wrong; it's also set by such operations as mv, ln,
    chmod, chown and chgrp.

    The man page for "stat(2)" discusses this.
