Applications find it useful to be able to report thread information in this manner, and the interface as specified is clearly widely accepted in implementations that do not share a common lineage. (Obviously, some implementations would not be able to provide this information to external processes, but that does not limit its utility as a portable interface for applications to supply this information.) I believe it is not supported as a thread attribute because the common usage in applications is to start multiple threads with the same attributes; they can use thread names to provide more information about what the threads are doing after they are created. pthread_setname_np() was added as the threaded equivalent of setproctitle() which is commonly used for this purpose in single-threaded applications.
