Usually that's a quick(er than byte-by-byte comparisons / checksums) check to see if a file changed... same timestamp, same size = probably the same file. Size changed? Timestamp changed? New file -> update database ... better not to mess with it.
If you want to change those for series order, it's probably easier to change the actual ebook file size... appending stuff to epub/zip files is easy (you can't use zeroes, but zip itself appends nicely).
It would waste a fair bit of storage space... to me, series order is not important enough to go that far.
