I'm guessing because it's experimental and might be withdrawn if it's decided not to be worth the hassle of maintaining it going forward. You don't need it when using the HTTP API <https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/api/#instant-queries> anyway: you specify the time you want the instant query to be evaluated at. The web interface, which is just a front-end onto the HTTP API, also lets you specify the evaluation time. So I was using "@timestamp" generically to mean "expression evaluated at that time"; it doesn't have to be literal PromQL.
