Google Search Console Link Report Doesn't Have A Last Updated Date

Google Date Stamp

Did you notice that one of the only reports in Google Search Console that does not have a "last updated" time stamp is the links report. I asked John Mueller from Google why and he said, "No particular reason. Different reports are different."

Here is what I wish it had, like the other reports:

Google Search Console Links Report Last Updated

I asked John Mueller about this on Bluesky:

This might be a dumb question @johnmu.com but why doesn't the links page in Search Console not have the last updated timestamp like so many of the other reports?
