why the VOR mode use "Heading" reading instead of "Track" reading?

on 737, when we choose the VOR mode on EFIS control panel, we get "Heading" reading. but mostly we fly the ILS/MAP mode while we get "Track" reading on the top. i'm wondering why don't boeing design one type of reading on the top 'cause i really think the "track" reading is more convenient.

any opinions will be appreciated.
