Wrong. Apple does provide such info.
Open "Disk Utility", select any drive, you'll see a "S.M.A.R.T. state:
Verified" displayed with other relevant info (disk size, disk usage
etc...)

That's the simplest and roughest status report (presumably what you'd
get by running smarctl -H) but at least it does gives you info. Last
time I've seen that value turn red, the disk died 2 days later...
