Because it was specifically not intended to be addressed by FileUpload.

But that doesn't answer why it can't. This is a component to assist with file uploading. This is a known problem with file uploading. It comes up reapeatedly in user queries. Surely this points to a missing method.

Is the problem the fact that FileItem is an interface and thus can't be changed?

As a user of [fileupload] I should be presented with the fact that I
have to make a choice in the API. At the very least, the javadoc for
getName() should provide a full description of the problem.
You mean like this?
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/fileupload/apidocs/org/apache/commons/fileupload/FileItem.html#getName()

Yes. I looked in the disk package, where the text isn't present.
