Why when given IC for this ode, where the IC do not really makes much sense, so was not used. But the question is on the format of the output of the Maple dsolve. It gives solution as [{y(t) = c__1}]  instead of y(t) = c__1

ode:=diff(y(t),t)=0;
IC:=y(0)=t;
sol:=dsolve(ode)

diff(y(t), t) = 0

y(0) = t

y(t) = c__1

> 

sol:=dsolve([ode,IC])

[{y(t) = c__1}]


 

Related question. Since Maple did not use the IC, should there have been warning message generated that IC was ignored?
