Possibly the same reason why Milwaukee, Makita, Bosch, etc offer bare tools - many people start out with a drill/driver and maybe an impact driver set, with batteries and a charger. When it comes to planers, jigsaws, sanders, saws, etc (secondary purchases, probably lower volume sales) maybe they figure that most/many potential buyers will already have other tools on the same battery system.
