That's because the I2C protocol does not support device enumeration or
identification.  You have to know in advance what kind of devices are
attached and at what address.  Even worse, it is not uncommon for
similar but not entirely compatible devices to use the same I2C address
(for instance, every I2C-capable RTC chip uses the same address, even
though they have different feature sets)
