Why is there no way in Notes to insert the current date easily?

So often I need to go back to a note, and add some time stamped update at the end.

Am I the only one?

No. Notes fails on many basic things, this is just one example.

One of the very first tools I install on a new Mac is the free WordService [1] tool from DEVONTechnologies (no affiliation). It adds a bunch of little text tools to the Services menu, including several for inserting the current date and time in various formats. They also provide a direct download version [2].
