I think it's partly because many people shudder when they think about
using gnus for the first time. This is historical. Gnus is now
relatively easy to set up and use but, in the dim and ancient past, it
was more of a challenge and not something for newbies... Further, gnus
is still somewhat challenging when it comes to some types of
customisation. Whether any gnus aspects should be in a beginner's
tutorial is doubtful as it would potentially overwhelm the tutorial!
Of course, many of us on the list are happy to try to help with gnus and
org issues.
