I dont either.
The same with pecan oak and walnut leaves.
The reason for the pine forest floor not growing much is the pine needles act as a mulch.
Where I live certain plants have adapted to this and grow as under story plants.
Pine needles enrich soil given time.
Them like any other organic material if not allowed to break down with oxygen will turn into peat like in the peat bogs and become acidic.
At least that is my guess.
