GNU Awk (gawk) is missing from the 25.08 runtime

There's no awk binary in the 25.08 runtime, is that on purpose?

$ flatpak run --system --command=awk org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/25.08 --version
bwrap: execvp awk: No such file or directory
$ flatpak info --system org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/25.08
