Yes, and it rightfully does. Because you don't query for it.

You want to query for either "*" - everything, more specifically
"standard::*" for standard properties like size, type etc. or even more
specifically for FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_NAME + "," +
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDART_TYPE. For possible constants see:
