I'm not aware of any specific reason for this. Maybe someone who has
worked on the design of the P2P extensions to the D-Bus interface could
comment more on this.

Many of the fields shown in wpa_cli p2p_peer command are meant to be
internal information and should not really be used by external programs,
i.e., they were meant mainly for debugging purposes. The D-Bus interface
does a reasonable thing here by not exposing the values that could be
misused taken into account that such misuse has already happened with
values exposed through the control interface.
