Why doesn't System.Guid have a Parse method when SqlGuid does?

It's simple enough to do:

System.Guid g = System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlGuid.Parse ( s ).Value ;

But why should I need to?

Hello,

try
Guid g = new Guid("guid goes here");

OK, but that doesn't actually answer the question.
And perhaps I should now ask why SqlGuid _does_ have a Parse method when it
already has a constructor that takes a string?
