I am reading over the entry for the Monk in the PHB and I don't see anything about them gaining proficiency with their Unarmed strikes.  Is this really the case?  I know that Unarmed Strike is listed under Simple Weapons, but if you get proficiency with it from simple weapons (which most classes get) then why does the Tavern Brawler feat have an entry that you gain proficiency with Unarmed Strikes?

Druids, Sorcerers, and Wizards do not have proficiency with all simple weapons.
