these atoms and other atoms in group 8A have constant valence shell.it means that all of them have 8 electrons in their valence shell (except helium that has only 2 electrons )and they don't want to attract electrons.
that s why they don't have electronegativity.
hope this helps

Why do some of the noble gases (Helium-He, Neon-Ne, Argon-Ar) have absolutely no electronegativity? Explain why, and use the words valence electron and octet rule in your explanation.
