I'm betting that's why none ever materialized. Most tools that can manipulate a file, can also create that file first, so there's just never been a usecase.

Right-clicking the desktop to create a new txt file in Windows feels so natural, but I can't really think of any time you'd want to create a new file and do nothing with it in a CLI.

You might if some other program checks whether that file exists and behaves differently depending on that.

But even still, what's a realistic usecase that would that involve needing a blank, unmodified file in that instance?
