Why pkg(8) is NOT bootstrapped in PKGBASE install by default?

Hi,

I just made an 'offline' installation of FreeBSD 15.0-ALPHA2 with these options selected:
- Use PKGBASE.
- Do 'Offline' install.
- Auto ZFS with Partition Scheme: GPT (BIOS+UEFI)
- Add '+lib32' to wanted sets.

After reboot I want to see what PKGBASE packages are installed (and maybe remove some of them) but I am not able to because pkg(8) is not bootstrapped ... why? This is OFFLINE installation. These are bad defaults.

    root@A2:~ # pkg info
    The package management tool is not yet installed on your system.
    Do you want to fetch and install it now? [y/N]: 

Regards,
