Why is it that we don't do that? cpp gets (ab)used for things not related to compiling C programs with cc. It should not depend on what today's version of cc does. /usr/bin/cpp does something closer to "cc -E -P -traditional -D__GNUC__ -$ -nostdinc -I/usr/include" to keep close to what old versions of cc did (defining __GNUC__ and modifying the include search path here are wrong).
