Why is there no taxi instruction for Tower?

Hello IFC!

I wanted to know why tower control cannot tell aircraft to taxi. I listen to a lot of ATC mostly at PHL since that is my home airport, and I hear Tower giving aircraft taxing instructions. Lately there has been a lot of diversions to PHL from airports like EWR, JFK, LGA, IAD, BWI and RDU. Saturday at 8:24pm EDT a British Airways 777-200ER landed at PHL. The tower controller gave the aircraft taxi instructions and told the crew to remain on tower frequency.

Unfortunately there isn’t. But you can vote for it

Here’s the only one that I was able to find
