Yum/dnf is a total turd (rinky dink script, actually), IMO, but that feature is an absolute godsend since many times package names don't include the command names, and that's what folks memorize.
Are you sure? "pkg query" is very powerful. Check "pkg alias"; one prebuilt query may already exist. I don't know yum so I don't know what "whatprovides" does, but I would be very surprised if pkg(8) doesn't do an equivalent.
