CPU resources during docker build command on Windows

Question

How can one control how many logical processors are used by docker build command on Windows?

I have this dockerfile:

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:1803
SHELL ["powershell", "-NoLogo"]
RUN Get-ComputerInfo -Property *proc*
CMD Get-ComputerInfo -Property *proc*

and when I build an image I see the following output:

CsNumberOfLogicalProcessors : 2
CsNumberOfProcessors        : 1

Note that my computer has 4 logical processors and when I run container with --cpus 4 option I get an expected result:

CsNumberOfLogicalProcessors : 4
CsNumberOfProcessors        : 1

What confuses me is why docker build does not support --cpus option since it runs containers when creating image layers.
