I cannot speak as to why or why not that isn't a standard feature. But
I can tell you how I do it:

You could use Tim Pope's unimpared.vim plugin which provides a spell
on,off,toggle mapping. (https://github.com/tpope/vim-unimpaired) The
commands are: [os, ]os, and cos for set spell, set nospell, set spell!
respectively.

Or you could do something like I do:

"toggle spell check
noremap <Leader>ss :setlocal spell!<CR>

which toggles the spell checking locally, i.e. for the current buffer.
I borrowed this from someones .vimrc online somewhere some time ago.

Some times, in source code, it wasn't obvious to me whether the
toggling had turned spell on or off, so I augmented the above mapping
to make it more verbose as follows:

"toggle spell check verbose
noremap <Leader>ss :setlocal spell! <Bar> echo &spell?'spell is
on':'spell is off'<CR>

Now I know if I've turned the spell checking on or off.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
