Because you don't really create a template that way but

You can compile against phobos sources instead of interface
files.
As far as I understand gdc/ldc problem the way it currently works
there is no difference between .di and .d files - if function is
not a template its binary is expected to be found in matching
object file - and if that object file belongs to prebuild static
lib it is completely out of question, even if the sources are
completely available.
I have never understood exactly what in frontend makes it that
much of a problem though
