HFS+ has encryption through a bolt-on process.
APFS has encryption designed in from the core. They don't want to maintain the bolt-on that is only used for legacy / external drives any more, on the way to getting rid of HFS+ altogether.
HFS has been around since the 80s for fucks sake. It's okay for us to leave it behind when they've already done the heavy lifting of automatically converting everyone to APFS years ago.
