I wonder why most good lenses come with a lens hood then? Hummmm.....
Because the public asked for them en mass. Lenses didn't always come with lenshoods. For example the Nikkor AF 80-200 f/2.8 D still treats the lenshood as an optional extra. The old 105mm Macro did too.
I'm sure if nearly single person bought a protector filter for their lens they'd start getting bundled with lenses within a few years. But currently there are a lot of people like yourself why would be asking why because of simply a different attitude towards the lens.
Best leave something an option accessory unless you wish to polarise your customer base.
