I suppose you're flying the RAF warbids? If yes, then that's because it worked this way in reality: a single brake lever on the stick grip, then rudder deflection to manipulate the valve regulating the flow of air to the pneumatic brakes (left rudder for left brake, right rudder for right brake, no rudder for both brakes).
Individual toebrakes work fine in Luftwaffe aircraft (while the previous system doesn't, you can't turn by one brake command plus rudder input) because they did have individual wheel brakes.
In other words, if the aircraft in the sim doesn't have it there's a good chance it's because the real one didn't either. This extends to other stuff like the lack of lockable tailwheels and so on. Lots of people get confused (especially if they have previous IL2:1946 experience and expect things to work the same way) and think it's bugs but upon closer inspection many such cases are actually just copying the real aircraft systems.
Hope it helps somewhat
