Why doesn't MIPS have a Store Immediate instruction just like Load Immediate instruction?

MIPS has a Load Immediate (LI) pseudo instruction to load a 32-bit immediate value into a register. But it does not have Store Immediate (SI) instruction to store a 32-bit immediate value to Memory. Can someone explain me why?
