The HTML Dialog Element vs Headless Component Libraries Dialog

Hi guys, i wanna learn why Headless component libraries like Ark UI/Radix Ui/etc,etc for a Dialog component don´t use the HTML dialog element. What´s the reason? It´s not better for SEO having native and progresive enchanment dialgos/modal/drawers?

I can't say if it would be better, but they probably didn't use dialog, because not all browsers supported it As of 15th January or something like that, all browsers do But that's only 2 weeks ago
