Normally stat stores last accessed time, last modified time and last changed time , but not the creation time. stat -c %Y returns last modified. Maybe it was done because of the meaning and actual use for this value. If creating a copy, should it include creation time? If restoring a file from backup, what should be the value used for the restored file? If creation time is going to be critical to whatever use then a storing system like indexing system, or version control system, etc. needs to be implemented. Not sure if your operating system would want to take such a performance hit just for getting creation time value.
