I'd definitely be happy to see space-plugs included with the units, but I can't see the manufacturers doing it at zero cost. Maybe some of the higher end ones might, as they could use it as a USP for their product over a competitors, but I think it's unlikely for most.
Not all manufacturers include even L brackets. The ones that do are generally the really small ones that are so thin they bend if you so much as look at them. The cost to them for the brackets wouldn't cover the cost of the big screw for the space plug, let alone the plug itself.
I'd wager that most fitters don't use the supplied brackets anyway (I know I don't) and use their own (or use space-plugs!).
