Some do.
But then some people prefer other devices like a solenoid/relay.
And of course adding such things increases initial cost - people look at the winch price, not the total price of install start to finish. If they can cut 50-100 off, it sells more winches.

The idea of such things is always to protect the wiring, not the device. So it would have to be installed as close to the source of power as possible or practical.
The switch below you can buy all over the place, HF includes it with the Badlands Apex winch.

Thank you. So a Warn kit would work?

Yes, and since I am getting (hopefully this year sometime) a new 2022 and I'm stripping this stuff off my current truck just before that one arrives, I will be changing that manual switch to the Warn solenoid kit. I'll use one of the AUX switches to run it.
Nothing wrong with this switch, it's easy to use, works great, just the convenience, especially as I get older LOL
