Of course, so have I (some, anyway - French Horn, the most often), but as you seem to reasonably understand things (and as I do), none of these are standard doubles in a normal jazz band, so I wouldn't think they'd need inclusion. If those instruments are needed, then I understand the organization of the GPO marketing that would put them in the orchestra library and not include them in the jazz sounds. Anyway, that's how it makes sense to me.
