I'm sure the assumption is that nobody but a blind person would want a "skip nav/skip to main content" link, and we wouldn't want to clutter the vast majority of people's displays with something intended for such a minuscule market. Sighted folks, of course, all use mice and can just click where they want to go. There is no such thing as a sighted person not using a mouse. This might sound a bit snide, but I'm sure it's very close to the thinking behind the approach.

My question, is why hid the link? other than it can be done? p
