I have thought the same thing a few times. The manual page is unclear.

It says:

  In the case of the err(), verr(), warn(), and vwarn() functions, the
  error message string affiliated with the current value of the global
  variable errno is output next, preceded by a colon character and a space
  if fmt is not NULL.

So in other words:

  The errx(), verrx(), warnx(), and vwarnx() functions will not
  output the strerror(errno) error message string.
