The thing is that purely using a "VCS-centric" view of what files are
available is usually _much_ more efficient. The VCS usually can
efficiently tell you about an "interesting subset" (non-ignored) of
unregistered files, and I think that's enough -- there's no need to read
the filesystem directly.
[Indeed, reading the filesystem directly would both require a lot more
programming effort, and probably be much, much slower (remember that one
of the big problems with vc-dired historically is that it's so slow as
to be basically unusable for non-trivial projects).]
