I assume you mean that SAN almost never tells you explicitly which
of the pieces is to move. Obviously, SAN always tells you
implicitly: otherwise, it would be ambiguous.

Well, the SAN string *is* ambigous for the question from which
square the piece moves. You need to look at the board to
disambiguate.

Oh, OK. That's not how I read your post but it's obvious now that
we're in agreement.
