Because they have a much better tool named "dig" which is
included, and doesn't use really bad code, and isn't hated and
reviled by virtually all experienced domain administrators around the
world.
I strongly suspect that if the functionality of "nslookup" is
ever carried forward in the future, it will be done based on "dig",
and may in fact simply be a shell-script wrapper.
"dig" is your friend. I encourage you to start learning how to use it.
