why no GPWS ECAM alert on A320

GPWS warnings are fixed and so the actions!

I wonder why airbus doesn't have any GPWS ECAM alert with actions mentioned? is it because there is no time to read and do? Actions are expected to be from memory instantly?

similarly with TCAS and WINDSHEAR. Detection mechanism is there along with aural alert, but no ECAM alert again.

Out of the other memory items, EMER DESCENT procedure is the only one that triggers ECAM alert CAB PR EXCESS CAB ALT and displays the actions too.

any thought?
