MIDI timestamp in CoreMIDI MidiPortAndCallback?

In the following code (juce_mac_CoreMidi.cpp):

MidiPortAndCallback::handlePackets (const MIDIPacketList* const pktlist)
{
const double time = Time::getMillisecondCounterHiRes() * 0.001;

        const ScopedLock sl (callbackLock);
        if (activeCallbacks.contains (this) && active)
        {
            const MIDIPacket* packet = &pktlist->packet[0];

            for (unsigned int i = 0; i < pktlist->numPackets; ++i)
            {
                concatenator.pushMidiData (packet->data, (int) packet->length, time,
                                           input, callback);

                packet = MIDIPacketNext (packet);
            }
        }
    } 

a single timestamp is taken using Time::getMillisecondCounterHiRes and used for all MIDIPackets in the list. Why not using the timeStamp field that actually exists in the CoreMIDI MIDIPacket definition ? (see CoreMIDI framework MIDIService.h header)
