As described in the documentation kubectl uses imperative commands built into the kubectl command-line tool in order to help you creating objects quickly.

After some checks it seems like this is not available because it has not been implemented yet. You can see the full list of the create options at kubectl/pkg/cmd/create. For example, #78153 was responsible for kubectl create ingress functionality.

You would probably get more information and perhaps reasons why this is not implemented by asking the developers and opening a new issue.
