Howdy, I'm not aware of a strong domain-specific reason not to implement these methods. But in the general sense, these methods can be non-trivial to implement.
I've almost always found it preferable to either implement Comparable or Comparator specific to the comparison needs at the time. That way other people can use their own comparator as needed. So maybe the question is, why do you need these?
