Wouldn't that mean that every file that uses unit tests would

It could, for example, still be in object.
Yeah. We already have that with several symbols (e.g. size_t and
string), and arguably we should do it with a few others (like the
range primitives for arrays). So, if we'd made new and assert
into library functions instead of built-ins like we arguably
should have been, then they'd probably be in object.d, but that
shipped has long since sailed.
