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.
