As to why no provision for fuel dump, I suspect it is a cost driver:

Of course, everything is a cost driver. Whether or not to have carpet
is a cost decision. The real question is what the benefit side looked
like in their cost/benefit talks.

Why is dumping fuel needed? It can still climb at engine out with full
fuel, no need to dump there. If they can get up, and stay up, no need to
dump; they are safe.

What in this case? Were they in danger, flying around? No? Why dump,
then? Could they have landed immediately, in a case of immediate danger?
Absolutely. Still, you are asking. Why would they need to dump? They were
in no danger.
