Pi has it’s own button on most graphing calculators, and those that don’t usually only requure 2 button presses to get it. Meanwhile, there’s some iteration of ‘pi()’, ‘pi’, etc. in most programming languages
But sometimes, the problems are complex enough that solve time becomes a concern. When they’re complex enough, you start asking “is everything these precise enough to justify that” and when the answer is “no”, then you don’t do that because runtime on networked clusters like AWS costs money.
And when you’re talking about scales that encompass the galaxy…. Well. There’s just not a lot of precision there to begin with.

Sure.

The counterpoint to that is that including a term for pi (or even rounding it to 3.14) would insignificant to add and look way more professional
